Werner Herzog Box Set 1

A boxset containing all the collaborations between Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski.AGUIRRE, THE MAN OF GOD: Widely considered to be Herzog's finest film, is the tale of Spanish colonialists searching for El Dorado, the legendary city of gold, in 16th-century Peru. NOSFERATU: PHANTOM DER NACHT: Stark, symbolic cinematography and intensely stylised performances relating the age-old tale of Count Dracula. Klaus Kinski portrays the Dracula character with a silent intensity, tingeing the vampire's inhuman monstrosity with a deep sense of pathos and longing. WOYZECK: Based on Georg Buchner's unfinished play, the film is a dark study of a lowly German flunky (Klaus Kinski) who, to earn much-needed extra money, volunteers for a local doctor's strange experiments, which push him to murderous insanity. FITZCARRALDO: Klaus Kinski gives a terrifying and determined portrayal of mad genius Fitzcarraldo, whose twin goals of making a fortune off the Amazon rubber trade and bringing an opera house to the jungle are a metaphor for the impact of civilization on the natural world. COBRA VERDE: Filmed in Ghana, Brazil, and Colombia, COBRA VERDE is a visually astonishing true-life tale about a Brazilian bandit known as Cobra Verde who is exiled to West Africa to rejuvenate the slave trade. Also includes MY BEST FRIEND, a documentary film exploring the relationship between Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski.

    A film you wont forget

    I first watched this film one late night years ok whilst falling asleep. Dont let the fact that its in German put you off, this is the film that Deliverance and Southern Comfort got thier inspiration from.

    A party of Spanish conquistadors travel downstream in central America not knowing the horrors that await them.

    Amazing acting and images that will live with you for as long as you watch films. If you watch one foreign film make it this one.

    Sunday afternoon film

    If you're looking for something refreshingly different then this is it!

    Beautiful surroundings, familiar story and traditional styling. It won't cause nightmares, or lights to be left on but it has its moments!

    Ten years ago Werner Herzog made a brilliant documentary, Little Dieter Needs to Fly. It was the story of Dieter Dengler, a German boy who grew up with vivid images of the Allied planes that destroyed his village - he made eye contact with the pilot of a plane that flew so close to his bedroom window he could almost touch the wing, he said. Later, he emigrated to the US and joined the navy, where he realized his dream to become a pilot. Shipped off to Vietnam, he was promptly shot down over... Read more
