The season wouldn't be complete without a film starring the inimitable Klaus Kinski.
His performance as Don Aguirre journeying into the Heart of Darkness is amongst the most intense you'll ever see.
The film is a miracle of hardship and struggle. And like many of Herzog's early films it's utterly transcendent.
Other films in the W. Herzog Film Season:

This must be Herzog's most controversial film. Set in an unidentified institution a rebelion has taken place and anarchy reigns supreme.

Truly a masterpiece.

The deluded search of the American dream. Utterly brilliant.
