A Limited Release of Kinski's Controversial Masterwork

    

 director: Klaus Kinski
starring: Klaus Kinski · Debora Kinski (Deborah Caprioglio)
Nikolai Kinski · Eva Grimaldi · Dalila Di Lazzaro

    Klaus Kinski planned to produce a lavish mini-series based on the life of legendary "devil violinist" Paganini ("the decadent 'rock star' of his era"). But, when the investors saw the footage from the first month of shooting, they were horrified by the overt sexuality and graphic excess. They immediately stopped the project. Kinski and his longtime producer Augusto Caminito took the existing footage and pieced it together into a mishmash (profound, extraordinary, and honest, but still a mishmash) of frantic beauty, perhaps unmatched in contemporary cinema.    
      Paganini could whip an audience into an orgasmic frenzy with his music, earning him a reputation of being a "diabolical vampire with a violin." Yet, ultimately, this is the story of a self-destructive genius whose obsessions included not only a great musical vision, but also a mania for sexual liaisons with underage females.
