Leave your thoughts about Cobra Verde.
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawThe finest adaptation of Joseph Conrad not based on Conrad. |
| New York TimesA.O. ScottConnoisseurs of craziness need wait no longer. Cobra Verde opens today in all its feral, baffling glory. Along with "Aguirre" and "Fitzcarraldo," Cobra Verde completes a trilogy of mayhem and megalomania in hot climates. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe underwritten dramatization is saved by the stunning surreal visuals. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghLinear storytelling was never Herzog's strong suit even under the best of conditions. His strength lies in capturing lucid lunacy on film, and Manoel da Silva's descent into the jaws of madness is a straight shot into the heart of darkness, a place familiar to both Herzog and Kinski. |
| The SpectatorHilary MantelPreposterous is the word for this effort. But in a year when Hollywood cuteness is to the fore, it is a good deed in a twee little world. |
| Apollo GuideJaime N. ChristleyFlaws acknowledged, 'Cobra Verde' is a stunning, beautiful epic. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansThe results are like Kinski's performance: baffling, breathtaking and strangely beautiful. |
| User ReviewIan DHerzog's most focused and complete collaboration with Kinski |
| User ReviewJack GI think this is my favorite Herzog/Kinski if not my favorite Herzog. |
| User ReviewRobert ITo put it plainly.. the collaboration of Herzog and Kinski outdoes virtually anything else ever put up on the screen. This final installment of that collaboration is solid gold. |
