Been meaning to see this for a long time now. Thanks for posting this.
I'll take the opportunity to recommend Kinski's literally unbelievable autobiography, Kinski Uncut, which is probably the single most entertaining, audacious, full-of-shit, insanely marvelous (auto)biography you will ever read. I'm pretty certain that not a single word in it is true - which is exactly why it's such a great autobiography. posted by Dr. Wu at 6:01 PM on April 6, 2011
On non-preview: That was pretty funny. And we're talking about the same book! It contains multitudes, I tell you. posted by Dr. Wu at 6:02 PM on April 6, 2011
Thanks, saw this at the Berlinale with a flask of absinthe and I'm glad to see it again. Also loved his autobiography & wrote something about it here. posted by muckster at 6:05 PM on April 6, 2011
This guy would have been great in The Great Silence. Alas, we will never know. posted by Senator at 6:06 PM on April 6, 2011
The first heckler is part of the act, right? posted by geoff. at 6:06 PM on April 6, 2011
Yes! It's very much like Beneath the Underdog! Man, I gotta revisit that one.
I'm told that Richard Beymer's (!!) autobio, Impostor, is in a similar vein. It's been on my to-read list for a while now. posted by Dr. Wu at 6:10 PM on April 6, 2011
Wow, I saw some bits and pieces of this in "My Best Fiend" but can't wait to watch all of this. And yes, his autobiography, which was called "All I Need is Love" (I assume it's the same thing as Kinski Uncut) is a wondrous thing indeed. posted by ghastlyfop at 6:45 PM on April 6, 2011
From the director of "Nosferatu the Vampyre and "Jack the Ripper" comes a horror classic... "Jesus"! posted by markkraft at 7:02 PM on April 6, 2011 [1 favorite]
(Watching this makes me want to see Klaus Kinski working on a project with Blixa Bargeld, after being locked in a room with several huge tourines of coffee, multiple lines of cocaine, a half-pound of angel dust, and a belt sander.) posted by markkraft at 7:15 PM on April 6, 2011
This is what I call lightning the stage! posted by Meatafoecure at 8:28 PM on April 6, 2011
Saw this at the Wellington film festival in 2009. One of the joys was watching a young German guy in the row ahead, just convulsed with laughter and disbelief. Germany in the early '70s had been a closed book to him, and the film was obviously a revelation. As we passed him on the way out, he was asking his friends, "so, did that really happen?" posted by Sonny Jim at 2:24 AM on April 7, 2011
By golly, that boy could have been a hell of a televangelist. posted by nicolin at 4:11 AM on April 7, 2011
He was a real intense and great actor. I really recommend his movies with Werner Herzog, especially Aguirre: The Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo . posted by Dick Laurent is Dead at 6:06 AM on April 7, 2011
My mouse is now cowering in horror after the ferocity with which I favourited this post, many thanks! posted by nfg at 6:23 AM on April 7, 2011
