9/11 (2002)

 

A real life documentary following the events of September 11 from an insider's view, through the lens of James Hanlon and two French filmmakers who were in Manhattan that one day.

Remarkable documentary follows a full first-hand account of the events as they happened, including new insights and some unsettling personal drama.

Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes (1972)

 
 
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."
