A movie about a madman who tries to get a huge ship over a mountain and nearly kills everyone, made by a mad filmmaker who tries to get a huge ship over a mountain and nearly kills everyone. See Les Blank’s documentary about the latter part.
What a lovely little essay about this film! I went in looking for a basic plot summary and I got so much more context than I expected! Thanks for making this.
And the documentary film ‘Burden of Dreams’ about the making of Fitzcarroldo turned out to be actually BETTER than the film itself! I’ve seen them both twice and much prefer the documentary.
I think there is a good 90-100 minute film somewhere in the current version of Fitzcarraldo. As a 2 hour 30 film it takes too long to get to the iconic ship pulling sequence and we stay too long on the ship pulling sequence when we get there. Its why Aguirre and Strozeck are my preferred non documentary features from Herzog. They are edited efficiently and with care.
Man, you need more subscribers. You need to advertise yourself better. Your channel is top-notch! I appreciate the work you put in and the gems you watch/choose. Hopefully, things will work out much better for your channel because you've got great potential. Cheers and all the best!
i wouldn't have watched this movie if it wasn't for that poster in which claus is pointing back at the boat being dragged with an insane look on his face. the movie isn't the same without that poster, i was surprised to find a high quality copy of that poster on redbubble of all places and it was worth every dollar.
You believe anything from Werner Herzog?😂 He is so Super interesting because he fanricates most the time and behint the production is so much crazynes going on, but he admits it, he is a true story Teller, pure magic ❤❤
Kinsky straordinario Intenso Inquietante Magnetico .... Clamoroso Irripetibile Ineguagliabile .... Epocale .... Confronto a lui tutti gli attori sono banali mestieranti
It's the most idiotic film I ever saw. But I search for the scene where Kinski makes ridiculous arm movements, may his damned soul be cooked and fried until the Sin leaves his spirit, if he ever had one.

You just nailed it with this comment, mate!

You are most welcome! :-)
Just saw this movie in theaters last night. Got this in the afternoon. Subscribed!
This was the craziest film I ever seen. Thanks for this summary!

Watching footage of this film i thought it was about the adaptation of In the Heart of Darkness from Joseph Conrad. What a madlad is Herzog!

Kinski was the only choice!

Killing extra's is a big nope in my book
I prefer his film about the Vietnam War. You know, the one with the white dude pretending to be a black dude.
Kinski was such a good actor but a horrible human. That tongue. Gag.
Honestly, I dont see what is great about Kinsky. He is not that good an actor. He only plays himself.
this isn't a plot summary. it's a parroted wiki summary. don't waste your time.

Not nice
