Film > World Cinema - Classic

Many great directors have that one special actor with whom they become associated forever. John Ford had John Wayne. Federico Fellini had Marcello Mastroianni.

And Werner Herzog had Klaus Kinski.

Together they produced five epic films – Fitzceraldo, Aguirre: Wrath of God, Nosferatu, Woyzcek and Cobra Verde. Together, they moved to, and often beyond, the brink of insanity. When Klaus Kinski told director Wernor Herzog that he was leaving the set of Aguirre, only a few scenes before the end, Herzog promised to track him down and shoot him. Kinski finished the film. The final scene is a classic of modern cinema.

Here is the definitive collection of the five masterworks emerging out of the tumultuous, and compelling, collaboration between Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog. Included is the documentary My Best Fiend, Herzog’s revealing epitaph to his leading man, inspiration and tormentor.
