Aguirre, the Wrath of God

Description

In 1560: A Spanish conquistadors' expedition descends from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest, searching for the legendary El Dorado. A detachment is to explore the river on rafts – and its second-in-command, Lope de Aguirre, seizes leadership through mutiny and megalomania. What begins as a conquest turns into a slow journey of madness, fever, and insanity. Werner Herzog shot this with a small budget under extreme conditions in the Peruvian rainforest; Klaus Kinski plays Aguirre with an intensity that remains a milestone in film history. Accompanied by the hypnotic music of Popol Vuh. 94 minutes, German original version. Friday, October 9 – Aperitif from 7:00 PM, film starts at 8:00 PM. Oberdorf 4, 8752 Näfels. Collection at the exit.
