Fitzcarraldo

A madman wants to build an opera in the jungle without noticing the amazon was already a kind of opera.

Fitzcarraldo is a demonstration of feverish colonizer exploitation by an upstart rubber baron, explored through the legend of real Peruvian rubber baron Carlos Fitzcarrald who orchestrated the transportation of a dissembled steamboat to advance on untouched resources.

Directed by Werner Herzog
