Directed by: Werner Herzog Starring: Werner Herzog, Klaus Kinski In this film Herzog has a fascinating subject to work with -- Klaus Kinski -- but he frequently spoils it by going on irrelevant tangents... usually self-serving bits about himself and his movies. The documentary as a whole feels unfocused and disjointed. I wanted more archival footage (all of which is mesmerizing) and less blathering from the director. And in one embarassing scene, Herzog is relating some stories to an elderly couple who now occupy the house where he and Kinski once lived together. The couple are plainly uninterested but make an effort to pretend to care, while he just rambles on and on about all the awesome things he and Klaus used to do. RATING: 3 PROS: delightful bits of Kinski being insane CONS: wretched bits of Herzog stroking his own ego ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200849/
