Definetely the greatest ski flyer of all times.I`ve been to Planica for 45 years (for us Slovenians it is a pilgrimage), and I`ve seen them all, but Walter was the greatest!!

@MrLorack There was once a time when philosophical speak, as these two exchange, was taken with great attention and consideration. As our culture continues its downward spiral in culture, dragged down by cynicism on one end and political correctness on the other, we get empty commentary such as this. Werner and Walter are looking death in the eye here and rising above to the ecstasy of life. An encounter with the sublime such as this should not be trivialized.

there is some gorgeous music from this film, and i believe it is best found on the film dvd, part of a large, expensive box set . popol vuh disks do not seem to have the best of this film's music ,but i may have missed something. this was a long time ago. the mournful bit is on aguirre.

6:16 is a unknown universal poetry

@planetesauvage Nope this is not there unfortunately, though Aguirre has some similarly gorgeous music.

@kyudo59 It's an utter shame that this music has not been preserved on its own right. I continue to hold out hope that it some day will appear as its own piece of music.
