What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: the description names a 16-film set and bonus material across discs 1–13, while product details report 2 discs. The listed runtime of 1 minute also conflicts with a feature-film collection. Confirm the selected edition's disc count, runtime and contents before buying. Customer feedback also reports playback problems for some discs, so dependable playback is a consideration.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Werner Herzog fans seeking a multi-film physical collection.
Film collectors interested in the listed commentaries and supplemental features.

Less suited to

Buyers who need confirmed runtime, disc count or edition contents without checking the conflicting listing details.
Buyers who cannot accommodate the playback problems reported in customer feedback.

The listing's conflicting disc-count details also make it sensible to confirm the edition before purchase.

Negative themes

Mixed feedback

Customer opinions on value for money are mixed.
