Movie Reviews of Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski: A Film Legacy
Movie Review: My favorite movies
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a tremendous collection. I was first exposed to Herzog's work about 20 years ago when I saw Fitzcarraldo, and was hooked. This set contains six movies in total, including my three favorites which are Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre The Wrath of God and Cobra Verde. You have to have some patience when watching a Herzog movie. There are always some slow parts, and some things that don't seem to make much sense, but that's just part of it. What makes them special for me is the incredible images and moods Herzog manages to capture, and the absolute crazed insanity of Klaus Kinski's characters. These are movies you won't forget a few days after watching them. Some Herzog documentaries I have enjoyed but are not included in this set include Grizzly Man and Little Dieter Needs to Fly.

The six-film Herzog/Kinski boxed set is a sleek compilation of a visionary cinematic collaboration. The history of cinema is dotted with great directors who have found an actor whose face, voice, and style capture that director's point of view: Josef Von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich; John Ford and John Wayne; Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro. In 1972, the German director Werner Herzog cast Polish actor Klaus Kinski in Aguirre, the Wrath of God--the result was perhaps the definitive film for both. Kinski had previously made almost 100 films, but his malevolent role--as a Spanish conquistador obsessed with finding gold--shot him into international stardom. Though Herzog and the volatile Kinski were at each other's throats through much of the filming, seven years later the director cast Kinski as the tortured vampire of Nosferatu, Phantom of the Night (a color remake of the silent horror classic) and the title character of Woyzeck, based on the classic expressionistic German play about a jealous, unstable soldier who murders his lover. Both films continued the Herzog-Kinski trademark of intense unflinching emotion and the palpable presence of the raw physical world.
In 1982, Fitzcarraldo carried this ethos to new heights as Kinski portrayed a man who, in order to bring grand opera to the depths of Peru, has a huge steamship hauled over a mountainside using ropes, pulleys, and human endurance. The mad ambition of the film matched that of its hero as Herzog repeatedly placed crew and actors at risk of their lives. Nonetheless, the love-hate relationship between the director and his star carried them into one last film, the uneven but still remarkable Cobra Verde, about a Brazilian bandit sent to Africa to reopen the slave trade. After Kinski's death in 1991, Herzog made a documentary, My Best Fiend, about their decades of collaboration; the result rivals their previous work as a testament to human extremity. --Bret Fetzer
