"wow... what a ride!..."

..I said 60 minutes into the film... a documentary about the difficult relationship between Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog, who directed several of his fims.

And yet something that got developed over that 60 minutes, started suddenly loosing its shape and sharpness, began to blend into background.

The last trirty minutes or so represented a repetition of already said things, and added little (not zero, just little) to the portrait.

A very interesting documentary for anyone who loves serious movies. Something that will make you thing whether perfect harmony can only be built on fundamental similarity, and that Herzog is not all that different in his obsession from Kinski, and that while trying to remain, and portray himself, as a sane individual, he actually just keeps sliding deeper and deeper into the void, where his notebooks, written microscopically, finally tell us the story of his own madness.

Strongly recommended, even if the later part is definitely tedious.
