Mark Kermode reviews Fitzcarraldo (1981) | BFI Player

[aarond]

I feel like so many people when talking about this film avoid talking about the FILM, but instead the making of the film.

[littleghostfilms]

Fitzcarraldo is a mad dreamer who is obsessed with his vision to do something amazing in life! And yes, the film is every bit as good as the making of story.

[reinadegrillos]

I think the collaboration between Herzog and Kinski is one of the most extraordinary of all Film's history. And what a marvelous films they made.

[bunny.thebest]

The undying courage to do what is necessary to put his vision on screen is something to look up to. Werner Herzog is a great inspiration.

[MAFion]

One of the most insane and dangerous film productions in history for sure.

Recently watched this gem, great film 🎥

Slow, difficult to get into, definitely not for everyone, but still one of my top 10 favorite movies and imo easily one of the best art house movies to ever exist.

[shiftertron]

Mein bester Feind is a pun on the phrase "mein bester Freund" and translates as something more like "my best enemy".

Burundy Black (by "Burundy Stevenson Black" )
was the savages drum music

[scottsimmons]

BUT Is the movie as good as the story behind making the movie; ie, both Herzog's and Kinski's massive egos and tempestuous relationship? Probably not.

[Zegeebwah]

Tbh this movie was hard to get into. It hasnt aged well. The making of is more interesting than the film itself.

[franosbornblaschke]

Acting is horrible in this film. TV level.
