Cobra Verde

Cobra Verde, a Werner Herzog drama, plunges audiences into a profound sense of melancholy and sadness as Klaus Kinski's character descends into isolation and madness in a foreign land. The film evokes strong anxiety and disturbing feelings through its depiction of torture, humiliation, and the oppressive slave trade. Empathy is felt for the suffering of both the enslaved and Cobra Verde himself as he faces his bleak fate, while a pervasive sense of confusion reflects his deteriorating mental state and the film's surreal atmosphere.
