Werner Herzog Cycle
A major figure of the New German Cinema, Werner Herzog creates distinctive works on the border between reality and myth. An indefatigable explorer, he films extreme lands and marginal characters, capturing them in their excess. Blending fiction and documentary, his gaze explores human obsession and the untamable power of nature.
Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) starring Klaus Kinski, Ruy Guerra, Helena Rojo. In 1560, a band of Spanish conquistadors descends from the mountains in search of El Dorado. However, the expedition becomes bogged down in the marshes. A smaller group is formed, led by Pedro de Ursua and his deputy, Lope de Aguirre, who must explore downstream on rafts. Aguirre, an ambitious and brutal adventurer, cunningly proposes a new leader to his companions, the hapless Fernando de Guzman, who is solemnly declared "emperor of Peru and El Dorado"...
