Aguirre: The Wrath of God

 

Release Year: 1972
Review: A Herzog film with a simple plot and a complex character. The film is about a small group of Spanish explores searching for the riches of El Dorado and who manipulated into mutiny by a soldier named Aguirre. Watching the degeneration of Aguirre, played by Klaus Kinski, from a conniving tyrant to a power obsessed madman is chilling and fascinating. Beyond the demented Aguirre, the film is shot on location in the Amazon and is worth seeing for absolutely beautiful and authentic feeling shots.
Rating: 4/5
