"Aguirre, the Wrath of God", in German "Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes", will be screened on World Movies on Tuesday, 4 May 2010 at 6.55 p.m.

Directed by Werner Herzog with the legendary Klaus Kinski in the lead role, the film tells the story of the ruthless and insane conquistador Aguirre in  search for El Dorado, the wonderland full of Gold in the Peruvian jungle of the 16th century.

The captured Indian speaks solemnly to the last remnants of a Spanish expedition seeking the fabled El Dorado, the city of gold. A padre hands him a Bible, “the word of God.'' He holds it to his ear but can hear nothing. Around his neck hangs a golden bauble. The Spanish rip it from him and hold it before their eyes, mesmerized by the hope that now, finally, at last, El Dorado must be at hand. “Where is the city?'' they cry at the Indian, using their slave as an interpreter. He waves his hand vaguely at the river. It is further. Always further.
