In the 16th century, the ruthless and insane Don Lope de Aguirre leads a Spanish expedition in search of El Dorado.
Arguably,
Werner Herzog's greatest masterpiece, this a hypnotic, almost surreal
tale of a downward spiral into an unknown void, full of breathtaking
images and sequences and a diabolically intense performance by Klaus
Kinski.
Halliwell****: "Absorbing conquistador melodrama, vividly assembled and impossible to forget."
Maltin***1/2: "Powerful, hypnotic tale...Dream-like film...Kinski is perfect as the mad Aguirre."
