Kinski Paganini – 1989

• 2015/04/01

Sometimes, more IS more, subtlety be damned. This directorial debut from producer/start/writer/editor Klaus Kinski paints a vivid portrait of the titular composer by way of nepotistic casting and quasi-pornographic vignettes. If you ever thought sitting through a single one of Paganini’s works could be an intense experience, wait until you subject your senses to 90 minutes of a Kinski Remix. For bonus points you can watch it with the knowledge that Kinski had offered it as a joint-venture to Werner Herzog, who wisely refused, preferring a holiday in Bokassa’s Central African Republic. This might only make our must-see list because of today’s date, but we promise, we mean everything we just said.
