Theatre
Movie - Aguirre, furore di Dio
by Werner Herzog - Germany 1972 - 91′
Filmed in Peru, where nature is of astonishing and titanic beauty, the film is of great visual impact, amplified by epic music. Klaus Kinski is the true central pivot of the work, and as always gives a unique performance. But the credit also goes to Herzog, who from the very first scene captivates and amazes the spectator. In a nutshell, a masterpiece, which demonstrates man's impotence in his challenge to nature, and above all the mad dream of a character who wants to conquer Eldorado, a place that does not exist.
