William Luckenbach lovedAguirre, the Wrath of GodAguirre, the Wrath of God is hypnotic, poignant, and above all chilling. This is one of those films that after it’s over, it lingers in your mind for weeks. There was so much to unpack and admire that I think Im going to have to rewatch this soon. This was brilliant. 10/10
