Review of Fitzcarraldo (1982) by Tomass P — 08 Jun 2013
Very interesting, although it has a slow start - didn't need the 10min opera scene! But that explains Fitzcarraldo's obsession & then he sets off on his journey down the Amazon river & it's amazing to watch Herzog work - Kinski even looks like him! - no models or miniatures of the boat, river or rainforest - it's all actually chopped down, sent through rapids and pulled up a hill! Probably a little long and it's odd to be watching a movie set in South America in German, but it's pretty entertaining and certainly ambitious!
