80It is too weak to say that Herzog disregards conventions of narrative structure and editing: he is there to punish us for attending his film and to make us enjoy it. Other directors have at times made masochists of us: Herzog excels at this, and he doesn't often do it more stunningly than in Cobra Verde.

It's easy to understand why this was Herzog's final collaboration with the actor (reportedly the director afterward claimed that Kinski had "become uncontrollable") but Kinski's performance nevertheless serves up a potent confusion of documentary and fiction that has long been an essential element of Herzog's filmmaking.

30Verde is too blankly amoral to sustain interest, but the film has isolated moments of haunting poetry.

JimmyN.10Totally underrated collab. b/w Herz. and Kinsk. Nearly as good as Fitzcarraldo and, honestly, more watchable.
