Riveting


Herzog and Kinski are just explosive to watch together, and this doc really shows how borderline psychotic both could be.

What most struck me about this documentary were not the raging fits Kinski had, the fights with Herzog and other stories, but the scenes were Herzog and Kinksi sit together. Smiling, chatting and speaking about their crazy realtionship in a very airy fashion.
Also when they were hugging and kissing like they were the best of friends. Genuine affection. It puts everything in such a different light. Truely a love/hate relationship.

I really wonder when it all went wrong for Kinski. He wasn't just moody or aggressive. He was mentally ill. I guess we'll never know. This doc wasn't out to aswer that question and I really doubt that Kinski's autobiography is that reliable.
