Werner Herzog’s unforgettable portrait of madness and power tells the story of the doomed expedition of conquistador Gonzalo Pizarro, who in 1560 and 1561 led a body of men into the Peruvian rain forest, lured by stories of a lost city of gold. A masterpiece the moment it premiered, Aguirre remains one of the great, haunting visions of the cinema.

German with English subtitles.
