DON'T MISS THE NEW DOCUMENTARY - WERNER HERZOG: RADICAL DREAMER - SCREENING THIS JANUARY ALONGSIDE A MINI-SEASON OF MOVIES FROM THE HERZOG FILMOGRAPHY

"Werner Herzog's 1972 film starring Klaus Kinski as a 16th-century Spanish conquistador looks more magnificent and mad than ever" - The Guardian ★★★★★

Werner Herzog’s extraordinary film about Spanish conquistadors seeking El Dorado in the Amazon jungle centres on a memorably crazed Klaus Kinski.

Herzog’s extraordinary film about the madness and absurdity that overtake an expedition by Spanish conquistadors in search of El Dorado in the Amazon jungle is both superb storytelling – with intense performances (especially by Kinski as the crazed Aguirre) and striking, often surreal imagery – and an exhilarating record of its own feverishly audacious making. The opening scene in the Andes highlights its epic, elemental ambitions.
