Requires viewing for any movie buff...to be enjoyed like sampling a very fine wine. . .this is right up there with Apocalypse Now and made in the same sort of fashion...on sight in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the Amazon for the actors to get the feel...no CGI and all original stuff..and totally uncompromising...
I love Werner Herzog movies...he said why waste your time going to school...just go out and take action and make films and you learn as you go.
The story behind how this movie was made was equally as insane as the movie itself...Mick Jagger was originally supposed to play the main character but through what turned out to be a fortunate mishap, Klaus Kinsky stepped in - who probably better suited for the role in the end anyway.
Highly underrated movie...one of the best of 1982 and perhaps Herzog's masterpiece...he did another film in the Amazon worth watching as well.
