A month-long retrospective at Zeughauskino lets you delve into the work of arguably the greatest living German filmmaker.
In Aguirre: The Wrath of God, a mad conquistador (Klaus Kinski) desperately searches for El Dorado almost more to the detriment of his comrades than to the land he’s come to conquer.
Fitzcarraldo also features Kinski as a madman, this time trying to pull a boat over a mountain, which Herzog actually did for the film.
Anglos can catch the roar of Grizzly Man or see his spottier, more recent work, like My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done and The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans.
