00:00:06:First... 00:00:08:...cast the beam out|of thine own eye... 00:00:12:...and then the mote from mine. 00:00:31:- Jesus takes off his shirt...|- And lets others speak. 00:00:36:...he kneels before the first one... 00:00:43:...washing his dusty feet|with his shirt. 00:00:59:I am not the Jesus of|the official Church... 00:01:07:...who the police, bankers... 00:01:10:...judges, hangmen, officers,|church bosses, politicians... 00:01:15:...and other powerful|people tolerate. 00:01:20:I am not your Superstar. 00:01:27:Shut the fuck up! 00:01:31:Come up here, bigmouth. 00:01:38:I'm not a great speaker... 00:01:41:...but maybe some of you seek|Christ. But I don't think this is Him. 00:01:47:Because Christ was tolerant... 00:01:52:...and if someone contradicted Him,|He would not tell them to shut up. 00:01:59:No, He didn't say shut up. 00:02:02:He took a whip... 00:02:04:...and smacked their ugly faces! 00:02:07:That's what He did... 00:02:10:...you stupid pig! 00:02:12:And if only one of you wants... 00:02:17:...to hear me... 00:02:20:...he has to wait... 00:02:22:...until this fucking scum has left. 00:02:41:If I may quote. 00:02:44:"Thou shalt recognise them by|their works." That's what counts. 00:03:13:Munich, 3 Elisabeth Street 00:03:29:How do you do, Mr. Herzog? 00:03:32:Herr von der Recke, I hope you|are prepared for this invasion. 00:03:37:Yes, we are. 00:03:39:You do know, that this apartment|has a very special meaning for me. 00:03:44:As a thirteen-year-old|schoolboy, I used to live here... 00:03:47:...with my mother and|my two brothers. 00:03:51:This was a small, rather shabby|boarding house... 00:03:53:-...now restored of course.|- That was in the Fifties? 00:03:57:I was just thirteen. 00:04:00:The odd thing was that I lived here|with Klaus Kinski for 3 months. 00:04:06:Oh, really? 00:04:07:It was a chain of coincidences. 00:04:10:The owner of the boarding house,|Klara Rieth, an elderly lady of 65... 00:04:14:...with wildly dyed orange hair, had|a soft spot for starving artists... 00:04:19:...as she herself had come|from a family of artists. 00:04:24:Kinski had been living nearby|in an attic, without furniture... 00:04:30:...just bare beams, and everything|covered knee-high with dead leaves. 00:04:34:He posed as a starving artist and|walked around stark-naked. 00:04:38:Stark-naked? 00:04:39:Yes, when the postman rang... 00:04:40:...Kinski rustled through his leaves,|stark-naked, and signed. 00:04:47:Where was that? 00:04:49:Somewhere nearby. 00:04:52:But he wore clothes|when he lived here, I hope? 00:04:54:Yes, but from the very first|moment, he terrorised everyone. 00:04:57:There were 8 parties living here.|He locked himself into the bathroom... 00:05:02:The bath over there... 00:05:04:- Wasn't there a door there?|- Yes, it led to the bathroom. 00:05:08:- May we?|- Yes, go ahead. 00:05:14:This room, to the left, was bigger. 00:05:18:Yes, we enlarged the bathroom. 00:05:21:That's where we used to live,|my mother and the three boys. 00:05:24:The four of us in just|one single room. 00:05:27:There were bunks. We were rather|poor, and my mother tried somehow... 00:05:32:...to take part in the economic|miracle but got left behind. 00:05:38:This bath was smaller because|our room reached up to here. 00:05:44:Kinski had locked himself in this|bathroom for 2 days and 2 nights. 00:05:51:For forty-eight hours. 00:05:54:In his maniacal fury, he smashed|everything to smithereens. 00:05:59:The bathtub, the toilet bowl -|everything. 00:06:02:You could sift it through a tennis|racket. It was really incredible. 00:06:08:I never thought it possible that|someone could rave for 48 hours. 00:06:14:They called the police in the end,|but they left him in peace. 00:06:21:He was put up there,|in a tiny staff room. 00:06:27:- May l?|- Please, go ahead. 00:06:30:It was completely different, then,|there was a long corridor... 00:06:34:...and here there were one,|two, three small rooms. 00:06:38:Yes. 00:06:40:And here must have been|a wall and an entrance. 00:06:44:The corridor went along here. 00:06:48:And this here was Kinski's room. 00:06:51:There was only room for|a bed and a small night table. 00:06:55:And that was his window|looking onto the backyard. 00:06:58:One day, Kinski took a huge|running start down the corridor... 00:07:04:...while we were eating. I heard|a strange noise and then... 00:07:08:...in an explosion the door came off|its hinges crashing into the room. 00:07:15:He must have jumped against it at|full speed, and now he stood there... 00:07:21:...flailing wildly, completely|hysterical, snow-white in the face. 00:07:26:He was foaming at the mouth,|and he moved like this... 00:07:30:Something came floating down|like leaves -they were his shirts... 00:07:33:...his screams were incredibly shrill. 00:07:36:He could actually break|wine glasses with his voice. 00:07:39:And three octaves too high he|screamed, 'Klara! You pig!' 00:07:46:The thing was, she hadn't ironed|his shirt collars neatly enough. 00:07:50:Klara had him living here for free,|fed him and did his laundry. 00:07:56:One day a theatre critic had|been invited for dinner. 00:08:02:He hinted that having watched a|play in which Kinski had a small roll... 00:08:08:...he would mention him as|outstanding and extraordinary. 00:08:12:At once, Kinski threw 2 hot potatoes|and the cutlery into his face. 00:08:18:He jumped up and screamed: 00:08:20:"l was not excellent! 00:08:23:I was not extraordinary! 00:08:27:I was monumental! 00:08:30:I was epochal!" 00:08:33:All this made a very deep|impression on me then... 00:08:37:...and that I would work with him|later and make five feature films... 00:08:41:You would never|have thought that. 00:08:44:No, that was never on|my horizon at the time. 00:08:47:It was beyond my|furthest thoughts. 00:08:51:Did he ever have any training as|an actor while he was here? 00:08:56:He was self-taught. 00:08:59:At times you could hear him in|his closet, for ten hours non-stop... 00:09:04:...doing his voice and|speaking-exercises. 00:09:08:It was absolutely incredible. 00:09:10:He pretended to be a genius who|had fallen straight from heaven... 00:09:16:...and who had obtained his|gift by the grace of God. 00:09:20:In reality, it was incredible, how|much he trained himself. 00:09:25:At that time, during his poetry|recitals, he still had this artificial... 00:09:30:...theatre intonation of the Fifties,|a kind of a snorting snarl. 00:09:36:He mastered it to perfection. 00:09:42:And this is where I lived with him... 00:09:44:...and so knew what to expect,|if I was to work with him. 00:09:49:...salt-peter, blazing|phosphorous... 00:09:54:...in the urine of a|donkey in heat... 00:09:58:...in snakes' poison,|old hags' spittle... 00:10:03:...in dog shit and|foul bath-water... 00:10:08:...in wolf's milk, gall of oxen|and flooded latrines, 00:10:14:In this juice... 00:10:18:...thou shalt stew|the slanderers, 00:10:23:In a tomcat's brain|who ceased to fish... 00:10:27:...in the foam that dribbles|from the teeth of rabid dogs... 00:10:31:...mixed with monkey's piss,|in bristles from a hedgehog torn... 00:10:35:...in a rain barrel,|where vermin crawl... 00:10:38:...perished rats and the|festering slime of... 00:10:42:...toad-stools, glowing at night... 00:10:46:...in horses' snot and in hot glue, 00:10:50:In this juice... 00:10:54:...shall the slanderers stew, 00:11:02:Peru, the train tracks along|the Urubamba river... 00:11:06:... Kinski's and my river of|destiny so to speak. 00:11:10:I wanted to retrace|some of our steps. 00:11:14:The first film we did together|was "Aguirre, the Wrath of God"... 00:11:18:...which started here. 00:11:20:It was my sixth film and I|was 28 at the time. 00:11:24:I had sent Kinski my screenplay. 00:11:27:Two nights later, at 3am, I was|awakened by the phone. 00:11:32:At first I couldn't figure|out what was going on. 00:11:34:All I heard were inarticulate screams|at the other end of the line. 00:11:39:It was Kinski. 00:11:42:After about half an hour, I could|filter out from his screams... 00:11:46:...that he was ecstatic about the|screenplay and wanted to be Aguirre. 00:11:55:The shooting of "Aguirre" was|faced with two pressing problems. 00:12:00:One was the budget. 00:12:02:Aguirre,|THE WRATH OF GOD 00:12:03:Today, it is inconceivable that we|made the film with only $370,000. 00:12:13:No one was interested|in financing it, and what's more... 00:12:17:...Later, no one even wanted to|see the film for years. 00:12:23:Kinski was the next problem. 00:12:27:At the time, he had just cut|short a Jesus tour. 00:12:34:He had appeared in huge arenas,|in the Deutschland Halle in Berlin... 00:12:39:...and the audience merely|wanted to watch him rave. 00:12:43:He was laughed at, had terrible|fits and raved and screamed... 00:12:50:...and arrived here at our location as|a derided, misunderstood Jesus. 00:12:57:He had wholly identified with his|role and continued to live on in it. 00:13:01:Often, it was difficult to talk to him,|because he answered like Jesus. 00:13:06:In his earlier phase you could|watch him in similar self-stylisations. 00:13:11:As Fran?ois Villon,|the poor, vagrant poet. 00:13:16:Then as Dostoyevsky's idiot,|and later in his life, as Paganini. 00:13:24:What is more, he had been|fascinated by the screenplay... 00:13:31:...which had a different beginning|from the finished film. 00:13:37:In the script, there was a scene on|a glacier at an altitude of 17,000 ft. 00:13:44:A huge procession of altitude sick|pigs advances towards you. 00:13:49:Only later would you realize that|this was part of a Spanish army... 00:13:55:...of adventurers, accompanied|by 800 or a 1000 Indian auxiliaries. 00:14:04:All th...
