1:28:02
Seize him!
1:28:06
Stay back. His wives
will strangle him, now.
1:28:17
This scene, where slave trader
Cobra Verde tries to flee and dies...
1:28:21
...was the last day of shooting
that we had together.
1:28:27
Kinski was completely
beyond control.
1:28:30
He already identified himself with the
role in his own project, 'Paganini'...
1:28:35
...and brought with him into my
film an unpleasant climate...
1:28:39
...something offensive that
was alien to me.
1:28:44
Kinski had insisted for years that
I should direct 'Paganini'...
1:28:50
...but I always declined because I
considered his script unfilmable.
1:28:55
He finally made the film alone.
1:28:59
I didn't want to continue
our collaboration.
1:29:03
We parted ways.
1:29:06
in 1991 he died in his home,
north of San Francisco.
1:29:12
He had spent himself. It was as
if he had burnt himself out.
1:29:22
He had put so much intensity
into this scene...
1:29:25
...that from this alone
he had emptied himself out.
1:29:31
This should have been filmed
at the start of shooting.
1:29:36
in any case, he had spent himself.
He burned away like a comet.
1:29:42
Afterwards he was ashes.
1:29:46
This is what I sensed, and he
himself said something similar.
1:29:51
He said: "We can go no further.
1:29:53
I am no more."
