My Best Fiend (1999)
Werner Herzog · 95m · DCP

The actor Klaus Kinski was a psychopath, an abusive father, and a general scourge to any film set. He was also capable of some of the most powerful performances ever put on screen. My Best Fiend is Werner Herzog’s documentary about his work with Kinski. By revisiting filming locations, interviewing actors, and reminiscing on moments of rage, Herzog unrolls a narrative that says just as much about Kinski’s violent and dominating side as it does his own.
