Documentary, Germany 1999
Director: Werner Herzog
   
In the 1950s, when Werner Herzog was 13, he was sharing an apartment with Klaus Kinski, an ego-maniacal live-wire. In 1972, Herzog cast Kinski in Aguirre, The Wrath of God. Four more films would follow. In this personal documentary, Herzog traces the often violent up and downs of their relationship, revisiting the Munich apartment where they first met - and thrashed, and the various locations of their films.
