Reviews

Stands alone as a compellingly gonzo piece of reportage. . . . As a read, Conquest flies along but not because it s especially plotty. Rather, it gathers its kick from the spectacle of a celebrity director escaping the late 70s famescape into his own obsessions. --Time Out New York

Urgent and compelling. . . . A valuable historical record and a strangely stylish, hypnotic literary work. -- Kirkus Reviews

Since then he has produced, written, and directed more than fifty films, including Aguirre, the Wrath of God; The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser; Rescue Dawn; and Grizzly Man. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
