Yes Sir!

This is what grown ups should be wanting to watch. Not Avengers and X-Men. - @Thursday, October 11, 2018 5:56 PM

A genuine film without precedent. Pure filming originality. Klaus looks and is so bad ass in this film. - @Saturday, October 6, 2018 2:49 PM

When the real-life character actually looks crazier than Klaus Kinski: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l20ZFyxG9XM/TlM32R3jsPI/AAAAAAAAAy4/UrMyEzCfI9s/s1600/perfil.jpg - @Sunday, July 15, 2018 12:12 AM

Seen by chance because I looked for dialogues, and not disappointed surprise, the music is also very nice!! I made an editing with sequences of the film on one of my composition, and the some dialogues in questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMtWdkScpjI For those who are interested by a story of 'America conquest'.. And thanks to you for the movie ;) - @Thursday, February 8, 2018 11:52 AM

The way the trailer cuts, you sure this isn't from the 2000s? - @Saturday, January 9, 2016 4:05 AM

This is a German film and therefore, its marketing and publicity was bound to focus mainly on its own country. One of the best collaborations between Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog, in spite of the problems that occurred during filming. - @Sunday, August 16, 2015 2:17 PM

Hi BFI, when's this getting a Blu-ray release eventually? A rough estimate would be lovely to hear...same goes for The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser and Nosferatu the Vampyre, but for me this is priority! Please say it's soon :D - @Monday, January 20, 2014 3:21 PM

When asked what my favorite film of all time is, it's Aguirre by Herzog. Soundtrack by Popol Vuh is haunting, Kinski is mesmerizing. Herzog as the Master. This is film making before all that CGI crap... - @Tuesday, June 4, 2013 8:54 PM
