Additional InformationDirector Werner Herzog returns to the exotic locales and obsessive themes of previous works in his Amazon masterpiece, FITZCARRALDO. Klaus Kinski gives a terrifying and determined portrayal of mad genius Fitzcarraldo, whose twin goals of making a fortune off the Amazon rubber trade and bringing an opera house to the jungle give the film its crushing centerpiece--the maniacal leader's Sisyphean efforts at hauling a gigantic steamship over a mountain bank. The single-minded and wickedly energetic Fitzcarraldo moves mountains (and a boat) with his will and along the way acts out a stunning and emotional battle between man and nature, as in the similarly themed Herzog/Kinski collaboration AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD.<BR>Herzog's razor-sharp attention to the minutiae of both Fitzcarraldo's madness and the jungle's corresponding apathy and enormity makes the film a breathtaking metaphor for civilization's impact on the natural world. The documentary style of the film (the cast and crew actually hauled the boat over the mountain) gives the tale an urgency and suspense that, combined with Kinski's bravado performance and Herzog's striking sense of landscape, make FITZCARRALDO an unforgettable experience.

Klaus Kinski's epic performance in Herzog's masterpiece!
Like Werner Herzog's "Aguirre, Wrath of God", one is immediately stunned by the enormity of the this movie's stage and scenery - effectively the Amazonian jungle! Stories abound as to fighting between the director and Klaus Kinski, sometimes ending in manic chases up the Amazon in motor boats with loaded revolvers and threats of suicide in an attempt to get the film finished. The main cast (of Amazonian natives) assist a fanatical opera lover get his steam boat into the heart of the jungle in order to build an opera house. When they abandon him he tries to navigate the boat himself alone, whilst crackly strains of Caruso play out on a small gramophone. This edition comes with a plethora of extras plus a 2nd DVD comprising the companion movie "Burden of Dreams" which documents the making of this masterpiece - brilliant!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
