Huerequeque Enrique Bohórquez What Fitzcarraldo Is About
Werner Herzog's 1982 film follows a man who wants to build an opera house in the Amazon. He plans to raise the money through rubber. He has to move a ship over a hill. The film actually does it; the narrative makes obsession its real subject. Klaus Kinski leads. It won the directing award at Cannes. The use of Indigenous labour and the injuries during production were criticised for years. Who it's for: those who like demanding, extraordinary cinema. Who it's not for: viewers who cannot set aside the ethical problems of the production; that criticism is inseparable from the film.
