Episode Details

My Best Fiend (1999) synopsis: “In the 1950s, an adolescent Werner Herzog was transfixed by a film performance of the young Klaus Kinski. Years later, they would share an apartment where, in an unabated, forty-eight-hour fit of rage, Kinski completely destroyed the bathroom. From this chaos, a violent, love-hate, profoundly creative partnership was born.”

Director: Werner Herzog

This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey and Zak conclude their two-part documentary review series with Werner Herzog’s My Best Fiend! Unlike Lost Soul, this film covers multiple productions and a lifetime of collaboration and animosity. If you’re a fan of either Werner Herzog or Klaus Kinski, or the creative process in generally, this is a must-watch documentary!
