Two titans of German cinemaDirector Werner Herzog had actor Klaus Kinski formed one of the most infamous pairings in modern cinema, together producing five epic films Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, Wrath of God, Nosferatu, Woyzcek and Cobra Verde. Throughout, the pair moved often to the brink of insanity. Here is the definitive collection of the five masterworks emerging out of the tumultuous collaboration between two titans of contemporary film. Included is the documentary My Best Fiend, Herzogs revealing epitaph to his leading man, inspiration and tormentor.Films include:FitzcarraldoHerzogs gigantic jungle adventure Rubber baron Fitzcarraldo dreams of bringing together Enrico Caruso and Sarah Bernhardt for an epic celebration of Grand Opera inthe jungle.Aguirre, the Wrath of GodA breathtaking journey into the heart of darkness Kinski plays a crazed Spanish conquistador in an unforgettable portrait of madness and power.NosferatuA milestone in international cinema: a dual-language remake of F.W. Murnaus legendary 1922 horror classic Nosferatu.
