My Best Fiend (1999)
8/10
Klaus Kinski(s) saviour
1 August 2012
Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski were like a couple. A very weird, loud, crazy and completely insane one, but while they fought quite a lot, it looks like they actually loved to be together. This documentary does make a wonderful double bill with "Jesus Christ Saviour" (or "JC Erlöser" as it is called in Germany). Of course you should watch the other documentary first and then this one. Hopefully being aware of the body of work Kinski and Herzog have produced together, too.

It is even more obvious that those two were meant to find each other. One as crazy as the other. The documentary at hand, might only show Kinskis crazy side (and with Kinski gone, when this was made, he had no chance to comment), but to work with such a mad man, one had to be mad himself. A fascinating look behind the scenes of a couple of movies and possibly the most intimate and fascinating Kinski portrait, you'll ever see
