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."
