'Aguirre, Wrath of God'

A very interesting film. It seems that the actual making of the film is far more interesting than the movie itself.

Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog threatning each other. A crew member almost being killed by Kinski. There were only eight crew members. There was no storyboarding.

I found that it was a really cool film. If by some chance you could sneak a camera 300 years into the South American jungle, I felt that's the way it would've been. And I don't necessarily mean the story, language, acting or obvious fake blood. But there's a amateurish and raw nature to the film that makes it violent and real.

I totally understand why it's a "cult" classic.
