Aguirre, the Wrath of God [BLU-RAY]

Shot entirely on location in the wild Amazonian jungle near Machu Picchu, Aguirre, The Wrath of God stars the legendarily

volatile Klaus Kinski (Nosferatu the Vampyre) as Don Lope de Aguirre, a power-crazed sixteenth-century explorer who leads a

troupe of conquistadors on a doomed expedition in search of El Dorado, the fabled 'City of Gold'.

A visceral, ambitious exploration of megalomania and savage beauty, Aguirre remains one of Herzog's most brilliant

achievements and one of German cinema's totemic masterpieces.
