About a Hero

After a local factory worker named Dorem Clery dies under mysterious circumstances, Werner Herzog travels to Getunkirchenburg to investigate his perplexing death. But Herzog, our narrator, is not who he seems, and the film is not what we expect…

Directed by Piotr Winiewicz, About a Hero leans on a strong ensemble — Werner Herzog, Imme Beccard, Vicky Krieps — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2024.
