Review of Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) by Pierluigi P — 03 Feb 2008
Herzog's semi-documentary style succeeds to capture an almost Shakespearean portrait of the megalomaniac spanish conquistador Lope de Aguirre, wonderfully played with all his mannerisms by Klaus Kinski.
A bleak poem of greed, thirst and madness. A strong influence for Coppola's Apocalypse Now.
