About the Event
A power-crazed sixteenth-century explorer leads a troupe of conquistadors on a doomed expedition in search of El Dorado, the fabled 'City of Gold’ in this visceral, ambitious exploration of megalomania and savage beauty. Shot entirely on location in the wild Amazonian jungle near Machu Picchu, Aguirre is the first of Werner Herzog’s brilliant and often turbulent collaborations with Klaus Kinski. As famous for its hallucinatory images as for its notorious production, the film stands as one of German cinema's totemic masterpieces.
