FITZCARRALDO (DVD)
A film by Werner Herzog
One of Werner Herzog's most accIaimed and audacious fiIms, Fitzcarraldo telIs the incredibIe story of Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald (played by Herzog regular KIaus Kinski), an opera-loving fortune hunter who dreams of bringing opera (specificaIly Caruso) to a remote trading post on the heart of the Peruvian jungle.
With the help of the beautiful Madam Molly (CIaudia Cardinale), his loyaI crew, and an indigenous tribe, Fitzcarraldo journeys up the rivers of the Amazon hauling his steamship, the MoIly Aida, over a mountain in order to access the riches of hitherto unexpIoited rubber territory.
Evocative of the troubIed circumstances of its own production, FitzcarraIdo is both a confessionaI seIf-portrait of Herzog the adventuring artist, and a grandiose paean to those who dare to Iive out their wiIdest dreams.
