Review of Cobra Verde (1987) by Andrey B — 28 Nov 2017
As always Klaus Kinski portrays a larger-than-life character, as always Werner Herzog tackles with the seemingly impossible tasks of location shooting with a lot of extras. This time the story concerns slavery just before it was abolished altogether, the last vestiges of this horrible activity performed by humanity.
The last shot of Kinski's helpless attempts of trying to move a boat to water is haunting and symbolic. This last collaboration nevertheless lacks the mystical power of their previous efforts.
