ECE-1: Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog: On Acting and Not Acting

[RunItUpTheFlagPole]

Later that evening, after Kinski's rage, the Indians involved in this scene/footage offered Herzog to kill Kinski for him. Thank fuck voor Kinsky, he and Werner were friends and Herzog declined the Indians offer. Kinski's life was on a very thin line here, which he didn't realise at that time. The Indians must of thought a demon was amongst them, a bringer of bad luck..

This is from "My Best Fiend"? In the DVD I have (from the U.S. Herzog-Kinski boxset), Herzog narrates the entire doc (and this scene) in German. Where is this English version from?

You know I love Klaus Kinski as an actor but I am humbly reminded by this video that he was just a man as flawed as any of us.

Thanks for sharing this vidie

@nathanielscott The effects of WWII probably made him the loony that he was. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@TheCharacterActor Speaking of the WWII subject, it's kind of ironic that Herr Kinski once said in his Jesus speech that "Anyone who starts war or participates in it in anyway, is already dead" & he himself was a soldier/conscript in the Wehrmacht.
