In Reply to: Tonight is the torture night: "Mein liebster Feind - Klaus Kinski" posted by Victor Khomenko on January 20, 2005 at 16:58:24:
Victor,This is one I've loved for a long time. I'm not a big fan of Kinski or Herzog either, but the playing off of Kinki maniacal outbursts- re: the scene where he's acting as Jesus!- against Herzog's calm bemusement is really the best sort of dark comedy. I liked best, I think, the scene where Herzog visits the flat where he and Kinski lived. The description of Kinski breaking down the door over the shirt ironng. the vocalising for days in his closet, filling the attic knee deep in leaves to play Pan- fantastic! The couple that lived there at the time of documentary were also from that very quiet, well organized and extra sober/clean ("sauberfolken") German type and that was another contrast to the stories of wild-eyed luncay that gone on there.
I suppose I'm the sucker for about any film about extreme eccentrics in the arts, hence this one, "32 Short Films about Glenn Gould", "Condo Painting", and the like are very memorable.
I would rather see "My Best Fiend" than really almost any Kinski movie. I did like "Fitzcaraldo" quite a lot but that's about another fellow fellow in the Amazon that makes ice and wants to build an opera house and tries to finance it by dragging a steam ship over a mountain. That one I really recommend.
Cheers,
Bam
