Klaus Kinski has perhaps the most ferocious reputation of all screen actors: his volatility was documented to electrifying effect in Werner Herzog’s 1999 portrait My Best Fiend. This documentary provides further fascinating insight into the talent and the tantrums of the great man. Beset by hecklers, Kinski tries to deliver an epic monologue about the life of Christ (with whom he perhaps identifies a little too closely). The performance becomes a stand-off, as Kinski fights for control of the crowd and alters the words to bait his tormentors. Indispensable for Kinski fans, and a riveting introduction for newcomers, this is a unique document, which Variety called ‘a time capsule of societal ideals and personal demons.’

During the era of President Soekarno, several students were selected to study abroad, including Awal Uzhara, Sjumandjaja, Ami Priono, and Zubair Lelo. They were sent to Russia to study cinematography at VGIK (The Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography). Sjumandjaja and Ami Priono went on to become famous directors in Indonesia, but Awal Uzhara never had the same fortune. After completing his Master's degree in Moscow around 1965, political instability in Indonesia arose. The country's background, where Awal had studied, became associated with a negative stigma about communism, which was linked to him.
