I used to be kind of obsessed with that Kinski doc, 'My Best Fiend', I sang vocals in a terrible electronic band round about that time, and I incorporated/adapted Kinski's speech from that opening footage from the doc into my intro to a song, building up saying 'In diiiiiiiiiiiis juuuuuuuuuice.....we will boil the slanderers! In diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuice...we will boil the slanderers.'
that was fun, that part of the gigs.
edit: i have not seen many of his actual fictional films, I have seen 'Wocsez'(sic), the one about Kinski as the army guy home on leave, and i have tried watching Agguire, but i always ended up putting it off as i was not in the mood for it and it is a bit of an epic.
I have Grizzley man on dvd though, he makes the best documentaries. His voice is somehow so perfect for telling the stories of Kinski('he smashed everything in the bathroom to the point where you could have sieved it through a tennis racket.' 'Claraaaaaa!') and the Grizzley Man.
I read Kinski's autobiography years ago, which was a hoot, apparently he made a lot of stuff up which Herzog was ok with, just to sell more books. I think they may have talked about that in the doc.
I would love to see that new one with Cage, I'll get ahold of it someday.
