Program Manager & Director of Special Programming Mark Anastasio is back with another Coolidge Staff Pick, highlighting Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God.
"My staff pick this week is a film that addresses a few things that might be on your mind right now: I'm talking about horrendous leadership, isolation induced madness, and, mostly, mankind's futile struggle to tame the chaos of nature," Anastasio says. Watch the intro below, and then sit down to watch the film, which is streaming on The Criterion Channel and Amazon Prime, and available to rent on most platforms.
