BRD/UK 1999, Director: Werner Herzog

95 minutes / DCP / OmU

Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog are closely linked in public perception to this day. in 1999, eight years after Kinski's death, Herzog made a documentary about the "rager." Rejected by ZDF with the concern that the film could turn into "unbearable navel-gazing," it proved to be a real hit with audiences. mein liebster Feind' shows Kinski in diametrical extremes: as a man frenzied with rage, whose uncontrolled outbursts could also turn violent, and as a sensitive and tender man plagued by an inner restlessness.
