Though he has long been admired for his rigorous and almost ritualistic approach to filmmaking, and while he has created a number of unforgettable narrative films, it is likely that Herzog will be remembered for his unique approach to documentary. In fact, in hindsight, what appeals most about his narrative films is the documentary elements -- where reality interjects itself. Consider Heart of Glass, for example: the narrative is interesting but obscure, but what is stunning is the document of an entire crew of non-actors, ordinary villagers, who have submitted to be filmed under hypnosis. Or take Stroszek. It's a very interesting story about the dream that America represents for some Europeans, about violence and about loneliness and relationships, but what makes it unforgettable is...

This is a great sleeper movie. Max is sort of like Data's older brother. He wants so badly to be human. This movie has some surprise twists and a wicked sense of humor, especially in the ending. For once the underdog wins. One of my favorites of the not-often-seen movies.

The quality of the DVD is very good. Clean and clear image, a few audio drop outs and a grainy segment or two within the film, probably from the transfer of footage from other sources. The story is basically about a sick-o running around a womans loony bin killing patients and nurses with an assortment of mediaeval weapons. There is lots of nudity, a couple of explicit female nude scenes. Not a kids film by all means. The plot is good but the way it the movie was edited together is poor. There are jump cuts, continuity errors and dialogue drop out that will annoy most viewers who seek technically well made films. The director did a great job annoying me with the set up for each sex scene. The director used very loud, confusing, claustrophobic music while adding a montage of flashbacks to...

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...

The whole movie is boring. The only reason to buy it is the scene with Klaus Kinski, which you can - fortunately - access directly. A shame that great Maestro Kinski accepted to waste his talent in such a crappy film. For Kinski alone I give one star.
