Werner Herzog

I seem to be back on my Herzog kick.

Aguirre, The Wrath of God!!!!!

A few decades after the destruction of the Inca empire, a Spanish expedition leaves the mountains of Peru and goes down the Amazon river in search of gold and wealth. Soon, they come across great difficulties and Don Aguirres, a ruthless man who cares only about riches, becomes their leader.

Another great Klaus Kinski role. I still lean towards Fitzcarraldo as my favorite Herzog/Kinski collaboration.



This film has a fantastic opening shot.
