Cobra Verde
1987
***
Director: Werner Herzog
Cast: Klaus Kinski, King Ampaw, Jose Lewgoy, Nana Agyefi Kwame II
The last film Werner Herzog made with Klaus Kinski is a story of a 19th century thief whose assignment to pick up slaves from Africa doesn't quite go as planned. However, the story is secondary to the spectacle. Herzog visits some of his favourite themes and paints the screen with some striking images. Not one of the duo's best pictures but worth seeing all the same.
