Aguirre

What a freaking kook - I love it! Klaus Kinski, all 5'4", stuttering around in full combat gear, stumbling on a raft, intimidating the shit out of everyone on board, including his own daughter. Herzog is a master of using landscape and nature to tell a human story. What amazing shots. I don't have a ton to say about this film other than: see it.

Also took a look at Every Man For Himself and God Against All. I couldn't watch the whole thing, it was fairly slow, and I didn't have the time, anyway, but it's about this totally uneducated, wild man, who was thrust into civilization and how he reacts. The opening sequence is pretty amazing.
