Aguirre, The Wrath of God

Aguirre, The Wrath of God

A film packed with political fire, as a group of mutinous conquistadors travel on hopeless one-way journey in search of El Dorado somewhere in South America.

The church was exposed for what it really is - an agent for the most obnoxious crimes throughout history - and in this case aiding bloodthirsty colonists whose guns and whips are still being felt throughout South America today.

A magnificent film with great power. Visually it was unlike anything I have seen before. The most beautiful film in the festival. Directed by Werner Hertzog.
