Like the Ebert review said, this movie is like an overwhelming hallucination. I appreciate that it can be brutal without gore. Was Klaus Kinski even acting?
I watched on a dark, rainy afternoon. I'd recommend the same viewing atmoshphere

I’ll watch anything by Werner Herzog and his documentaries are especially great. But this feature starring Klaus Kinski is my favorite thing he’s ever made, and one of my favorite movies period. Like most Herzog the whole project is seriously demented and there’s an *Apocalypse-Now-*like doubling thing going on, where the making of the film was almost as insane as the story he was dramatizing. I just saw Herzog has a new memoir out called Every Man for Himself and God Against All. I mean come on, I can’t wait to read that.

i have such a hard time getting through movies, its brutal and unfortunate. i am fully aware im missing out on some critical pieces of art in consequence, but if isnt both predominantly psychological thriller and as quickly paced as oppenheimer, its super hard to keep me engaged.
i will talk about this movie until the end of time. despite minimal dialogue and the most clinical atmosphere to be captured by means of cinematography, the lack of information and consequential unpredictability kept me thoroughly enticed and fully unnerved for the full two hours. minimalism weaponized for max intensity with no certain direction; epitomization of surrealist thriller.
watching it for the first time without context nor any expectations is an invaluable experience.

A Spaghetti Western that was never distributed in the states. It's only available in its original Italian dub. Familiar tropes but it gradually, then fully subverts them. Bonus points: Klaus Kinski is the villain.

usually you get reciprocal access to 1000s of other museums, historic sites, gardens etc across the country!! very cool! not to even mention free/lower price for openings, exhibitions, and parties that are hosted by the museum.
