Kinski and Herzog found themselves back in the South American jungle with this, perhaps the most formidable film of Herzog's career. Kinski is Fitzcarraldo, a nineteenth century rubber baron determined to build the largest opera house in the world deep in the Peruvian jungle. To do so, however, he must drag a 300 tonne steamer over a mountain - a Herculean task that Herzog amazingly decided to recreate during the epic two year shoot. Operatically excessive in both style and subject and full of unforgettable imagery, Fitzcarraldo overwhelmingly deserves its mythical status.
