Event Description
Selected films at Teatro Santa Ana, La Biblioteca, every Wednesday in April
🎥Aguirre, the Wrath of God | 1972 | Werner Herzog
In German with English subtitles | 94 min
🎞A feverish descent into obsession set during a 16th-century Spanish expedition in search of El Dorado. As the group drifts deeper into the Amazon, discipline collapses and ambition mutates into madness.
At the center stands Don Lope de Aguirre, portrayed with feral intensity by Klaus Kinski—a man consumed by visions of conquest and divine destiny. Werner Herzog stages the jungle not as backdrop but as an indifferent, overwhelming force, dwarfing human arrogance and exposing the fragility of empire.
Spare dialogue, hypnotic imagery, and an otherworldly score create a sense of mounting inevitability. Aguirre, the Wrath of God is not simply an adventure tale; it is a stark meditation on power, delusion, and the thin line between ambition and insanity.
