If you loved Lektionen in Finsternis, try Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Werner Herzog, and they both carry the dread, foreign gem, surreal mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Lektionen in Finsternis, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes is
Peruvian jungle, 16th century, a worn conquistador's helmet. A rickety raft navigates the Amazon River, men clutching rusty swords, the promise of El Dorado fading with each twist of the river. Herzog shoots the abyss staring back.
