Aguirre, Wrath of God

Stunning visuals, and some of the best acting I've ever seen in a film. Although it's a mere 90 minutes in length, it has the feel of a true epic. Klaus Kinski was phenomenal. Much like DeNiro in Taxi Driver, his eyes and the expressions on his face said it all. In fact, Kinski's portrayal of Don Lope de Aguirre may very well be the best performance I've ever seen. His final monologue sent chills down my spine.

This film begs for re-watches. In fact, I think I'm going to watch it again tomorrow after school.

"I am the wrath of God! . . . The earth I walk upon sees me and quakes!"
