The emphasis on the mix of facts and inventions has prevailed in the studies about Bavarian director Werner Herzog’s treatment of fiction, leading to the same result again and again: for Herzog, poetic truth is more important than factual truth. But how can we go beyond this conclusion? This paper will try to open an alternative path of analysis more adequate to his philosophy of filmmaking, one that works through the detection of visual and narrative motifs in his films, thus searching the impact of Herzog’s idea of fiction into his poetics.

内在与更深：维尔纳·赫尔佐格电影中的小说主题

巴伐利亚导演维尔纳·赫尔佐格（Werner Herzog）处理小说的研究中，强调事实和发明的结合，一次又一次地得出相同的结果：对赫尔佐格来说，诗意的真实比事实的真实更重要。但是我们怎样才能超越这个结论呢？本文将尝试开辟一条更适合他的电影制作哲学的另类分析路径，通过检测他电影中的视觉和叙事主题，从而探索赫尔佐格的小说理念对他的诗学的影响。
