Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes
Werner Herzog / DE, MX, 1972 / 95 min.
Alongside Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes is the archetypal Herzog film about men pushing their boundaries and dragging others along in their attempts to achieve greatness. Klaus Kinski is unforgettable as Aguirre, the conquistador searching for El Dorado in the South American rainforest.
The film is legendary, the director is legendary and, above all, the lead actor is legendary. No film reference work fails to state that Herzog’s Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes stands alongside Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now: monumental films, which their directors went to great extremes to make.
