Aguirre: Wrath of God



I love this movie...it's insane in every way.


Made in 1972 and directed by Werner Herzog, this tracks a movie about conquistadors trying to find the legendary El Dorado in the midst of thick jungle. Klaus Kinski is the power-mad (and just mad) Aguirre.

This is a really terrific movie. It has an opening scene that is jaw-dropping the longer it goes on, and Kinski is electric as the driven, nutty Aguirre, constantly driving uncertain men on.

It's like watching a beautiful dream. A really kick-in-the-head, stunning movie.
