now this is a strange film.
Kinski is at his most maniacal, from the first frame. No change, no escalation of madness...just the same lunacy from the get go.
It seemed pretty ridiculous until I realized it's an allegory. Made in '76, with WWII still, quite obviously, lodged in Herzog's mind, the character of Kinski is meant to portray...Germany.
Driven mad afer WWII by poverty and crazed politicians and military leaders, its descent into murderous barbarity, ultimately suicidal, is what awaited it.
Not an easy movie to watch but its stark brutality was mesmerizing.
If you must have something totally different, look no further.
