Reviews
“Werner Herzog's documentary about Klaus Kinski, the late leading actor in several of his films. Herzog reports on Kinski's outbursts of anger and catastrophic filming, shows out-takes as evidence and traveled to the locations in South America at the time. At the same time, the filmmaker clearly stages himself, so that this was not only a film about an extraordinary actor and person, but also about a friendship between men overshadowed by power struggles and vanities. As a document of the deceased German auteur film of great value. "
