Dir: Alan Curtis, Werner Herzog
1995
***
An interesting made-for-TV documentary on the life of Gesualdo, Prince, composer, madman. I don't care much for his music but I can appreciate its complexities and Werner does explain exactly why he was regarded as ahead of his time which was useful to a non-classically minded music lover. Herzog's usual flare is slightly absent in my opinion but the stories of murder and madness kept me entertained enough. A biopic starring the late Klinski is probably the greatest film never made.
