Fitzcarraldo

synopsis


Fitzcarraldo is a legendary film for many reasons - the background to the making of it, the battles between star Klaus Kinski and director Werner Herzog, the resulting masterwork. These factors combined to bring a vision to the screen unlike anything seen before (or since). A driven Irish adventurer (Kinski at his most wide-eyed and compelling), searching for untapped rubber in the Amazon jungle, brings Caruso and Verdi to the tribes he encounters. Followed, stalked almost, by beautiful madam Molly (Claudia Cardinale) he enlists the help of Amazon tribesmen to lift his ship over a mountain to a parallel waterway. Herzog's masterpiece is a monumental visual feast, with astonishing performances and remains a feat of film-making on the scale of Apocalypse Now. Watch and wonder in awe at Fitzcarraldo.

worth it just to see the boat go over the mountain - no special effects!
