Werner Herzog in LAB-1
Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes - The film that made director Werner Herzog famous: a group of Spanish conquerors in search of El Dorado, led by the mad captain Aguirre. With Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes is the archetypal Herzog film about men who push their boundaries and drag others along in their attempt at success.
The movie is legendary, the director is legendary and, most importantly, the lead actor is legendary. No film reference book leaves it unmentioned: Herzog's Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes is in the same vein as Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now: great films, which the directors went to great lengths to realize.
Director Werner Herzog and his 'liebster Feind', actor Klaus Kinski, investigated where exactly the metaphorical limit of the megalomaniac extreme lies.
