Review: Aguirre, the Wrath of God


Perhaps the most beautiful film ever made, Herzog's 1972 classic chronicles the doomed expedition of a group of Spanish explorers in South America searching for the elusive El Dorado. Klaus Kinski plays the role of Lope de Aguirre who hijacks the expedition and leads them all into disaster as his dreams of conquest grow ever-increasingly ambitious and delusional with each bend in the river.
