Playing as party our Retro Boutique Cinema's Jungle Adventure Spotlight, playing all through April.
AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD is one of cinema's greatest depictions of madness and obsession. The film trails Lope de Aguirre and a group of conquistadores in the 16th Century as they travel down the Amazon in search of El Dorado and its mythical riches. In his first collaboration with Herzog, Klaus Kinski's performance provides the lead character a level of feverish intensity rarely seen on screen before or since.
AGUIRRE is a masterpiece that has lost none of its nightmarish power. The simple narrative structure provides space for Herzog to craft a fatalistic atmosphere that grows endlessly as the explorers succumb to disease, starvation and unseen assailants.
