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.

Fantastic box set. Aguirre which is mesmerising from the start and Fitzcarraldo which is bewildering, justify viewing alone. There is something wistful and ... read more »

extreme behaviour
Fitzcarraldo is better than the other two. Herzog's obsession with extreme behaviour is easy to see in these three famous films.
Filmmakers’ reputations ebb and flow with the years, but few could have predicted the extraordinary twists and turns in Werner Herzog’s career, or the astonishing productivity that would coincide with his sixth decade. This week sees the release of his second oddball Hollywood cop thriller of the year (My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done coming hard on the heels of Bad Lieutenant), plus the premiere of the documentary Happy People: A Year in the Taiga at the Telluride Film Festival,...
