Synopsis: Director Werner Herzog, as usual, has spared no one -- especially himself -- in bringing this story of 19th-century African slave trading to the screen. Klaus Kinski plays an enterprising young Brazilian who after impregnating the three daughters of his plantation-owning employer, is sent to West Africa to round up slaves. Kinski goes to great lengths to befriend the very people he hopes to enslave and he eventually manages to overthrow a mad monarch and set himself up as king. As the years pass, Kinski grows wealthy -- and careless. However, despite enslaving the tribe, he does show some signs of humanitarian benevolence. This fifth and final collaboration between director Herzog and Kinski is considered the weakest of the five features. Though the title translates literally as Green Cobra, Cobra Verde was released in the U.S. as Slave Coast.

Quote:
Flaws acknowledged, Cobra Verde is still a stunning, beautiful epic, and if the narrative slips into an incoherent muddle from time to time, the film is for the most part a riveting, entrancing piece of cinema, and it contains some of the most memorable images that Herzog has ever composed. -- Jaime Christley

Thanks for this. I made a friend watch 'My best Fiend' not so long ago, and feel like watching these epics again :)
