Review of Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) by Mike G — 11 Nov 2010
Loosely based on historical fact and Joseph Conrad's seminal work, 'Heart of Darkness', Aguirre is a gripping account of a man pushing, and in turn being pushed, too far.
The sheer density of the jungle, coupled with both Herzog's superb direction and Kinski's amazing performance, creates an atmosphere of palpable foreboding.
The way it ends is the only logical conclusion amidst such an illogical expedition.
