One of Werner Herzog's most acclaimed and audacious films, Fitzcarraldo tells the incredible story of Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald (played by Herzog regular Klaus Kinski), an opera-loving fortune hunter who dreams of bringing opera (specifically Caruso) to a remote trading post on the heart of the Peruvian jungle. With the help of the beautiful madam Molly (Claudia Cardinale), his loyal crew, and an indigenous tribe, Fitzcarraldo journeys up the rivers of the Amazon hauling his steamship, the Molly Aida, over a mountain in order to access the riches of hitherto unexploited rubber territory. Evocative of the troubled circumstance of its own production, Fitzcarraldo is both a confessional self-portrait of Herzog the adventuring artist and a grandiose paean to those who dare to live out their wildest dreams.

The thing to admire about this film is that the filmmakers went for it in the first place. Kinski was a madman at first sight, but Herzog seconded him brilliantly. From their peculiar artistic relationship emerged something that is either brilliantly insane or insanely brilliant. The transportation of a steamboat across the mountains is an incredible demonstration that essentially any artistic vision is achievable.

Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog are insane. They conveyed human madness in the form of Fitzcarraldo and turned into a movie of the same name. And I really don't know who the bigger freak here is: Kinski, who looks like he's just stuck a fork into the socket, or Herzog, who wanted the staff to move the whole ship over the mountains in Peru and even used it for a final scene that I’ll never forget. It’s a movie that makes it easy to realize that someone could have gotten themselves killed during the filming (which did actually happen), and also that there was no one from the crew who didn’t also become a stuntman.

The story of a dreamer trying to reach unconquered lands and bring opera to the wild Amazonian savages. The scene of the steamer being carried over a hill on dry ground is unforgettable. Klaus Kinski has so much charisma he could dish it out and it’s impossible to take your eyes off him throughout the film. It is also worth mentioning the great and certainly very expensive production design.

If Herzog won’t come to the mountain, then the mountain must go to Herzog!

Herzog’s greatness syndrome at its best – it’s a pity that it was probably felt the most by the people present during the shooting. The viewer is swayed by the rapids of a vast river and in the second half impressed by the majestic view of a colossal steamboat in the Peruvian jungle, but unfortunately, the gradual psychological pressure and the fall into the clutches of madness that I expected is missing. Thanks to Kinski’s impulsive character and the skilfully built aura of expectations, you’ll probably eat Fitzcarraldo like candy, but its flavour doesn’t resonate as much as the premise and the exhausting reconstruction warranted. 70%
