Herzog Kinski Collection - Special Edition Collector's Set (6 Disc Box Set)

Two titans of German cinema!

Director Werner Herzog had actor Klaus Kinski formed one of the most infamous pairings in modern cinema, together producing five epic films – Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, Wrath of God, Nosferatu, Woyzcek and Cobra Verde. Throughout, the pair moved often to the brink of insanity. Here is the definitive collection of the five masterworks emerging out of the tumultuous collaboration between two titans of contemporary film. Included is the documentary My Best Fiend, Herzog’s revealing epitaph to his leading man, inspiration and tormentor.

Films include:

Fitzcarraldo
Herzog's gigantic jungle adventure! Rubber baron Fitzcarraldo dreams of bringing together Enrico Caruso and Sarah Bernhardt for an epic celebration of Grand Opera in
the jungle.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God
A breathtaking journey into the heart of darkness! Kinski plays a crazed Spanish conquistador in an unforgettable portrait of madness and power.

Nosferatu
A milestone in international cinema: a dual-language remake of F.W. Murnau's legendary 1922 horror classic Nosferatu. Kinski gives a career-best performance as the vampire Dracula.

Cobra Verde
Kinski, in his final collaboration with director Herzog, stars as Cobra Verde, the barefoot South American bandit and slave trader who aspires to be King in his newly-adopted African homeland.

Woyzeck
A moving interpretation of Georg Büchner's harrowing play. Kinski again delivers a stunning portrayal of a man’s descent into madness.

My Best Fiend
Herzog's oddly tranquil ode to his explosive leading man. Herzog recounts, not only kinski’s on-set ravings and megalomania, but the tender moments underlying their combustible relationship.
