Additional InformationBased on the journals of Brother Gaspar de Carvajal, AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD is director Werner Herzog's hallucinatory tale of Spanish colonialists searching for El Dorado, the legendary city of gold, in 16th-century Peru. When the travellers reach an impasse, a scouting party is assembled to search for any traces of the mythical empire. As they attempt to forge their way through the dense jungle, more and more of the party falls ill while their ruthless leader, Don Lope de Aguirre (Klaus Kinski), grows increasingly insane.<BR>Widely considered to be Herzog's finest film, AGUIRRE, which shares much in common with Francis Ford Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW, highlights the director's visionary approach to filmmaking. Like Coppola's film, accounts of AGUIRRE's shooting are laced with legendary incidents, such as the time Herzog reportedly held a gun to Kinski's head to get him to finish a scene. Whatever transpired between Herzog and Kinski, it made for astonishing cinema, as evidenced by the actor's haunting performance and the entire film's powerfully hypnotic mood.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...Absolutely stunning....A splendid and haunting work..., Sight and Sound - ...The clarity and truth of [Herzog's] method, and the value of his tension between rationality and its opposite, are summarised to perfection...
Gripping but rather horrific tale of madness in the Amazon jungle
This is a story of madness. Very powerful and gripping but also horrifying, bloody and cruel. The scenery is magnificent, and totally real since it was all shot on location in the jungle. Not recommended for people with a sensitive disposition or looking for happy endings..
