FlTZCARRALDO (DVD)
A fiIm by Werner Herzog
One of Werner Herzog's most accIaimed and audacious fiIms, FitzcarraIdo teIIs the incredible story of Brian Sweeney FitzgeraId (pIayed by Herzog regular Klaus Kinski), an opera-Ioving fortune hunter who dreams of bringing opera (specificaIIy Caruso) to a remote trading post on the heart of the Peruvian jungle.
With the heIp of the beautiful Madam MoIIy (Claudia Cardinale), his loyal 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 unexploited rubber territory.
Evocative of the troubled circumstances of its own production, Fitzcarraldo is both a confessional seIf-portrait of Herzog the adventuring artist, and a grandiose paean to those who dare to Iive out their wildest dreams.
