Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes
Werner Herzog / DE, MX, 1972 / 95 min.
Alongside Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes is the archetypal Herzog film about men breaking boundaries and dragging others into their quest for success. Klaus Kinski plays the unforgettable Aguirre, the conquistador searching for El Dorado in the South American rainforest.
The film is legendary, so is the director and, even more so, the lead actor. No cinema encyclopaedia will ever omit Herzog’s Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes as it is considered on par with Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now: major films which the directors went to extremes to make.
Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes is released in national cinemas by Eye.
