A fearsome 19th century bandit, Cobra Verde cuts a swath through Brazil until he arrives at the sugar plantation of Don Octávio Countinho. Not knowing that his new guest is the notorious bandit and impressed by his ruthless ways, Don Octávio hires Cobra Verde to oversee his slaves. But when Cobra Verde impregnates Don Octávio’s three daughters, the incensed plantation owner exiles the outlaw to Africa where he is expected to reopen the slave trade. Following his trans-Atlantic journey, Cobra Verde exploits tribal conflicts to commandeer an abandoned fortress and whips an army of naked warriors into a frenzied bloodlust as he vies for survival.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The type of crazed, folkloric epic that Germany's own De Niro-Scorsese duo usually excelled at.
– Mark Holcomb,
Time Out New York,
24 Mar 2007
fresh:
The final third of this film contains sequences of horrifying sublimity and ethereal beauty, moments that have a clarity and power beyond the reach of reason.
– A.O. Scott,
New York Times,
23 Mar 2007
rotten:
Verde is too blankly amoral to sustain interest, but the film has isolated moments of haunting poetry.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
20 Mar 2007
fresh:
It's easy to understand why this was Herzog's final collaboration with the actor, but Kinski's performance nevertheless serves up a potent confusion of documentary and fiction that has long been an essential element of Herzog's filmmaking.
– Ed Halter,
Village Voice,
20 Mar 2007
rotten:
Though less apocalyptical than usual, the imagery is as lavish as ever, but the film is wrecked by an underwritten narrative.
