Werner Herzog's films are always special and it's interesting to watch them. He loves cinema, loves what he do and he has guts and talent to show you story and surprise you.
I watched not many of his films and I'm glad that this number increased. I'm tending to watch all his films and the next one would be Fitzcarraldo, I think.
This film is about madness, point of no return, cowardliness, treachery and many other things. It's about conquistador expedition to the Latin America that gone wild.
After watching film I looked it in wikipedia and was amazed that it was shoot just for $370 000. I must say - WOW. It still was shoot in 1972 and inflation had done to dollar some bad things , but still - WOW. And one third was Kinski's salary. And I must admit - he looks good in this movie.
