Review of Cobra Verde (1987) by Simon T — 30 Jun 2016
Herzog and Kinski's final collaboration is an incoherent disappointment. Kinski - looking like a Napoleonic Iggy Pop - plays a mercenary slave trader. Fabulous locations and occasionally memorable set pieces can't excuse the sloppy camera work and indulgent direction.
Popol Vuh's music is small compensation.
