I liked how Herzog invokes the power of the river and the jungle by showing a ship with sails and a canoe hanging off its stern a hundred feet above the river bank in the top of a tree - only to be dismissed as a hallucination because it's inconceivable the river could ever get that high.

Aguirre is amazing, the best thing ever man

Just watched this. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Was a refreshing break from the cgi cavalcade that exists now. Herzog has reinvigorated my love a cinema after it flew toward what I thought was a slow seemingly inevitable death.

Just finished watching this. It was pure bliss to just watch a scene be played out, and not have a jump cut every 3 seconds.

And the most haunting film I've ever seen

Just watched it myself and I'm absolutely shaken by it, the rawness and realness of it is almost overwhelming. From Aguirre ordering the native musician to play to fill the silence, to the musician trailing off later and almost breaking the 4th wall, and ultimately the movie ending in silence was a brilliant use of sound. This movie had almost the same impact for me as Apocalypse Now but with 1/100th the budget. The camera movement and framing considering this was shot with one camera is absolutely insane. Kinski is mesmerizing throughout. A masterclass in show, don't tell.

Werner always has some great stories to tell.

First saw this in an unheated theater in February in Minneapolis, MN. Really made an impression on me.

Cool clip! Thanks for uploading it. It's so crazy how at 3:00 he says he simply directed the jungle to be the way he wanted. The film seems to say the exact opposite, and it's incredible to think the intensity of the forest was arranged to be 'just so'. I wonder if there's more to the story after the video cuts.

I have only seen it in a theater. The first time I saw it, I thought about the ending for weeks. Like Midnight Cowboy, it is a film I try to watch when ever it gets a screening.
