Viewing Notes

Werner Herzog’s Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972) wasn’t high on my blindspot list but still a film that needed to be seen. Saw it on the library shelf so what the hell. And it’s a damn fine film just to see Klaus Kinski as the ruthless and unforgiving leader in search of El Dorado. The combination of Herzog and Kinski is legend.
