Film Streams Repertory Calendar January – March 2008 v1.3 Psycho 1960 Herzog & Kinski January 4 – 24, 2008 Aguirre: The Wrath Burden of Dreams 1982 of God 1972 Nosferatu the Vampyre 1979 My Best Fiend 1999 Cobra Verde 1987 Fitzcarraldo 1982 “We complemented one another,” director Werner Herzog once said of the late actor Klaus Kinski. “I needed him, and he needed me.” It’s a touching, significant admission, one that cuts straight to the heart of perhaps the most intense love-hate relationship in cinema history. Both maniacal in their own ways, Herzog and Kinski collaborated on five extraordinary films, and probably tried to kill each other at least as many times. Despite their early, violent- prone troubles—fascinatingly explored in Herzog’s documentary tribute MY BEST FIEND—and against all better sense, the filmmaker continued to cast the highly volatile actor in his movies, finding in Kinski’s explosive presence (to say nothing of his inimitable face) the embodiment of expression.

In truth, mid-1950s, it was with reverence that critics and he was the master of manipulation—expertly employing every cinematic device filmmakers of that country looked to a prolific British available to him (dialogue, performance, music, location, cinematography) in filmmaker making movies in America. Decades into order to draw exactly what he wanted out of his audiences, precisely when he his career by then, Alfred Hitchcock had produced a wanted it. With this series we celebrate in 21 films the ultimate auteur, a director body of work and established an artistic thumbprint who not only contributed to the language of film but in the process created a like nothing before.
