本片是德国新电影运动的代表人物、著名导演赫佐格为纪念他那位举世闻名、而又充满争议的老友克劳斯·金斯基所拍摄的纪录片。在本片中,观众可以随着赫佐格重返昔日两人合作过的电影场景,采访相关人士,也有当年留下的许多珍贵的镜头。In the 1950s, an adolescent Werner Herzog was transfixed by a film performance of the young Klaus Kinski. Years later, they would share an apartment where, in an unabated, forty-eight-hour fit of rage, Kinski completely destroyed the bathroom. From this chaos, a violent, love-hate, profoundly creative partnership was born. In 1972, Herzog cast Kinski in Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972). Four more films would follow. In this personal documentary, Herzog traces the often violent ups and downs of their relationship, revisiting the various locations of their films and talking to the people they worked with.
