Why do we watch people do terrible things? What is so captivating about watching a person become a dictator, a killer, a monster corrupted by power? Do these characters reveal something hidden inside us? A raw, animal instinct?
Werner Herzog’s 1972 cult classic "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" explores these questions. The film is based on the harrowing journey of Spanish conquistadors seeking El Dorado in 16th-century South America. As the lead character Aguirre spirals into madness, his descent is both horrifying and mesmerizing, embodying the seductive nature of power and its corrupting influence.
