FITZCARRALDO (15) 1982 GERMANY WERNER HERZOG £5.99
Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald (Klaus Kinski) is an opera-loving entrepreneur
who dreams of building an opera house in the middle of the Peruvian
jungle. To finance his project he attempts to persuade the rubber
business to extend into the jungle, and concocts a plan which involves
moving his steamship over a mountain to a parallel waterway. In making
his film of the visionary’s adventures, director Werner Herzog famously
refused to use special effects and insisted instead on actually
transporting a steamship over the mountains.
