This early masterpiece from legendary German director Werner Herzog stars Klaus Kinski as a power-crazed explorer in sixteenth-century South America who leads a band of conquistadors through the Amazon in search of El Dorado. Shot entirely on location in the wild Amazonian jungle, 'Aguirre' is an ambitious exploration of doomed adventure and savage beauty. ★★★★★ "More magnificent and mad than ever." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
