About a Hero is not a documentary in the classic sense, but rather the disruptive final result of a special AI experiment revolving around the work of Werner Herzog. The film not only tells a bizarre story with echoes of Herzog's work, but also raises critical questions about 'authenticity' and how we perceive reality, with contributions from writer Stephen Fry, among others. An alienating, thought-provoking film that explores the still fairly unexplored cross-pollination between film and artificial intelligence.
