Synopsis: Werner Herzog directed this documentary about the puzzling relationship between himself and actor Klaus Kinski. Beginning with their apocalyptic first meeting at age 13 and continuing through... [More]
What’s the difference between artistry and bravado? This isn’t a question I generally feel inclined to ask, but I’m compelled by the work of Werner Herzog, who scrambles the two until it’s difficult to tell which is which.
Herzog's portrait of his friend is as mad as his films, and as fascinating.
With generous clips from Herzog and Kinski's collaborations, My Best Fiend is one of the great portraits of artists fighting, even with murderous rage, to reach the sublime.
Fiend is more often a self-congratulatory showcase for the films of Werner Herzog than a satisfying exploration of artistic collaboration and personal dysfunction.
My Best Fiend is about two men who both wanted to be dominant, who both had all the answers, who were inseparably bound together in love and hate, and who created extraordinary work -- while all the time each resented the other's contribution.
Top CriticMein Liebster Feind is a tentative exploration of the borders of friendship, madness, and genius.
