Made up from footage recorded in 1971, this riveting documentary captures an epic monologue (“The greatest story ever told – the story of Jesus Christ!”) defiantly delivered to a hostile crowd by the notorious actor Klaus Kinski. As a document of a controversial and interesting event, this film is fascinating; but as a record of an artist such as Kinski at work, it’s essential. Fans of Kinski’s volatile off-screen persona (as witnessed in Herzog’s classic portrait My Best Fiend) will be amply rewarded.
