MPAA Rating: R
Director: Werner Herzog
Starring: Klaus Kinski
"Aguirre: The Wrath Of God" Video
"Here is this man, Kinski, and you have to put him on the screen. You have to take all his rage, all his intensity, all his demonic qualities, and make them productive for the screen . . . I had to be strong enough to shape him and force him to the utmost, beyond the limits of what is normally required for the shooting of a film. But he would push me equally to the limit. It was not permissible to take even a little step back from his level of intensity and professionalism . . . But I cannot deny that there were moments, which were dangerous, when we could have killed each other."
