Review of Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) by Daniel A — 01 May 2008
Aguirre, the Wrath of God was loosely inspired by Conrad's Heart of Darkness and went on to inspire Coppola's classic Apocalypse Now. Sandwiched between two fantastic works of art, Aguirre transcends both, pulled along mercilessly by a incredibly intense and frightening performance from Klaus Kinski as the title character.
A detailed study of both the human condition and the follies of colonialism.
