Pretty entertaining and further confirms that Klaus Kinski is one of the most atrocious human beings to ever find success in acting. Listening to Werner Herzog speak never really gets old. There were some fine segments in here but 1/3 of the film is literally just the Fitzcaralldo documentary, Burden of Dreams, re-used. I do believe that Burden of Dreams is much more crucial viewing than this (why else would Herzog simply re-use so much of it?), just as it is much more crucial viewing than the film Fitzcaralldo itself. My Best Fiend will introduce you to the madness of Kinski, but why settle for that when Burden of Dreams will get you acquainted with Kinski's madness, AND Herzog's as well?
