Hello Reids On Film. Intrigued to read your review. I saw this last year at the cinema having seen it on those tiny telly's from our youth (S). My Dad, a Herzog fan, talked of this and Aguirre, the Wrath of God, growing up. 'The making of', documentary does inhabit the watching but adds to the myth of Kinski. Unimaginable to consider another actor as lead. On 2nd viewing and a good few decades apart, the ending surprised me most. Originally, for me, it felt a bit corny and perhaps not prepared for his failure, I was disappointed. Now, it feels triumphant and joyous, stood atop his listing boat, cigar and hat while opera is performed. Agree with N - high 70's
Tiny televisions... those were the days. Who needs all this widescreen sound bar nonsense? Did you Dad ever mention Kinski as Nosferatu? That's his best in my humble opinion.
Morning, no, not as much as the others and a film I still haven’t seen. The Crimson Pirate, was another favourite from his childhood. I watched again, 10yrs ago?? Hard not to enjoy.
