Review of Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) by Andy P — 09 Feb 2015
Herzog's historical epic is a disturbing parable that encapsulates his flair for allegory, metaphor and the grotesque; his interest in obsession and his sense of the landscape taking on awful, human aspects.
It's as hallucinatory, maddening and and hypnotic as Apocalypse now, perhaps even more so with Kinski's fascinating presence and the uncompromising vision that brought the film to life.
