Fitzcarraldo (1982)

dir: Werner Herzog

Brian Sweeney "Fitzcarraldo" Fitzgerald (Klaus Kinski) is a European living in Iquitos, a small city in Peru in the early part of the 20th century. He has an indomitable spirit, but in essence is little more than a dreamer with one major failure already behind him — the bankrupted and incomplete Trans-Andean railways. A lover of opera and a great fan of the famous tenor Enrico Caruso, he now dreams of building an opera house in Iquitos. This will require considerable amounts of money, and the most profitable industry in Peru at the time is rubber. The areas known to contain rubber trees have been parceled up by the Peruvian government and are leased for exploitation. (Wikipedia)

This is very good and I enjoyed it, but I'm disappointed that I didn't really like it anywhere near as much as Aguirre. I thought it only got really good in the last hour, and that much of the earlier stuff seemed to plod along a lot. Kinski makes even the less interesting parts worthwhile, though.

I prefer Kinski as a raving maniac rather than the slightly eccentric character he plays here. There are lots of brilliant moments, but the slow parts between them don't hypnotize me as much as they do in Herzog's other work.

Werner Herzog may hold the record for "director with the most people killed in the process of production of his films", but this is still an awesome movie
