Hail to the Viceroy
In principle, I would feel tempted to give it only a six. Except that then there are “buts”… But there is Werner Herzog. But there is the sociopathically brilliant Klaus Kinski. But there is that unforgettable final scene. But there is the historic memory behind the story. But there are silent scenes of sheer contemplation. But there is the image of the fortress of Elmina (originally Ajudá, or Ouidah), that lingers long after you have seen the movie. But there is the amazing sensuality of all those female-warriors in beautiful war outfits. But there is that young girl singing near the end, the lavish, teasing, provocative, self-assured look on her face, the expression in her eyes, the crystalline/aggressive sound of her voice. And ‘but’ there is the music. If you have read Bruce Chatwin’s novel, you will be able to add up some details to the story line. The horror of the Kingdom of Daomé, for instance, is far from what BC described himself – and actually far from what history books tell us. In fact, you could build endless stories inside this movie. That’s what makes it so good: all the things missing. It could have been a better achievement, but for all it’s worth, it’s really not the kind of movie you’re likely to forget after a few weeks!

A Mad Folly, Full of Dazzling Images and Almost No Plot: Who Cares?
There are more dazzlingly brilliant images in ten minutes of this minor epic than you’ll probably find in two dozen of the current brainless hits at the top of the charts: if you want easy laughs and dopey characters, this is not your film.

On the surface, Cobra Verde concerns a one-off slightly mad killer who becomes master of an African slave trade; what makes it fascinating is a series of very strange set-pieces: hundreds of half-naked female warriors with spears and red knit caps training on the beach; a daft prince staring into space while his brother in lavish gold garb drinks of out his enemy’s half-skull, miles of white flag-wielding messengers stretched into green jungle reaches–its wild! This film is really not much about plot or depth of character but a mad visual adventure and on that level it succeeds in a way that is typical of Werner Herzog’s mad follies–it’s a macabre feast!
