(AGUIRRE, DER ZORN GOTTES, West Germany 1972, 100 min., German with subtitles)

In 1560, mad Spanish conquistador Aguirre (Klaus Kinski in one of his most demented performances) leads a mutiny during an expedition down the Amazon to find the legendary “golden city” of El Dorado. When Aguirre takes over, the journey downriver becomes increasingly deadly. Like his main character, director Herzog took his cast and crew to previously unexplored regions of South America to make his masterful epic adventure.
