Over the Edge: The Herzog Restorations Part One

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

One of the screen’s great portraits of obsession. Klaus Kinski plays Fitzcarraldo, whose dream of building an opera house to rival Europe’s best, in the middle of the Peruvian jungle, leads him to try and make one big score. One sequence in the film was so insanely difficult to achieve that the whole enterprise becomes charged with a madness akin to its protagonist.
