A bandit in the Brazilian slave trade.

Sinekatalog’s take

Werner Herzog's last collaboration with Klaus Kinski follows a bandit in the slave-trading Brazil and Africa. Epic, grim and visually striking, it is uneven but contains unforgettable, mad images.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
