to say the working relationship between director werner herzog and actor klaus kinski was often stormy strains the boundaries of understatement . kinskis tirades against herzog are the stuff of legend kinskis scabrous autobiography all i need is love features a number of venomous rants against the director far too foul to recount here while herzog had to threaten kinski with murder to get him to complete his work on aguirre the wrath of god . however the collaboration between these two men no matter how combative resulted in the finest most memorable work of eithers career including aguirre nosferatu woyzeck and fitzcarraldo before kinskis death in 1991 ended the partnership . mein leibster feind my best fiend is a documentary by herzog about his work with kinski and portrays the actor with a large degree of affection while making no secret of his volatile nature an actor displays a scar on his head from a wound kinski inflicted with a sword while an outtake from fitzcarraldo shows him terrorizing a member of the crew . despite their remarkable differences herzog sums up their working relationship with admirable conclusion we complemented one another . i needed him and he needed me . mein leibster feind my best fiend was produced for european television though it did receive a screening out of competition at the 1999 cannes film festival . mark deming rovi . br br widescreen presentation 1.77 1 enhanced for 16 x 9 tvs theatrical trailer languages english german with optional english subtitles .
