Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes/Aguirre, Wrath of God **** (3rd time; first time with commentary) 1972, Herzog, WGer In 1560, an ambitious soldier in Pizarro's conquistador army leads a mission on raft down the Amazon River, and slowly goes mad. Epic in all but running length, this is an ambitious and haunting study of despair and destiny, told in a visually inspired way; from Kinski's intense title performance to the on-location filming, it is one of the great achievements of cinema. Best film of 1972? Of the 1970s? Of all time?
