Customer Reviews

More artistic than historic.

Called "A breathtaking journey into the Heart of Darkness." A cinematic tale of the conquest of 16th-century Don Lope de Aguirre (Klaus Kinski) and how it might have been as they traverse the Amazon River (Filmed in Peru) in search of the mythical lost City of Gold. Some see it as real, others see holes you can drive a truck through; anyway you see it. This is a good place to start in the New German Cinema movement. A good choice of actors and great visuals. This is also an intense way to learn some German. The victim on the raft is full of arrows, and he gets kicked before the revealing statement "er ist tot".
