Fitzcarraldo
Werner Herzog
1981 Peru/West Germany (2nd time; DVD)
Against all odds, an ambitious Irishman attempts to haul a steamboat from one river to another over a hill, in order to establish an opera house deep in the Peruvian jungle.
Surely one of Cinema's most physically exhausting accomplishments; it took three years to film, with a complete re-shoot when Herzog lost his two leads after 40% was filmed, though even as second choice, Kinski is as intense as ever. It looks, sounds and feels like one of the director's most polished films, and also ranks among his most accessible.
