The TVI Take
Werner Herzog's 1972 Spanish-conquistador film anchored by Klaus Kinski's Aguirre — the canonical Herzog-Kinski collaboration. The structural commitment to filming on actual Amazonian rivers with available light and the director's notorious production-conditions stories establish the catalog's most-canonical mythology.
Among the medium's most-cited 1970s European auteur entries.
