Fitzcarraldo

FROM THE AWARD WINNING DIRECTOR WERNER HERZOG STARRING KLAUS KINSKI "Klaus Kinski Rules" must be scrawled on countless jungle trees down South America way for ex-Aguirre, Wrath of God Klaus is at it again, this time trading Spanish armour for the tropic-stained white suit of the title's opera-crazy German-Irish rubber baron and ice-maker. His golden hair is all akimbo like warring wheatfield's, his mouth is gashed in an imperious sneer, as he paddles and steams up the Amazon bringing Verdi and Bellini to the wilderness. He plays Caruso on wind-up 78's and makes contact with the Indians more profound than langauge can. His transport is joy, his destination is communion". Harlan Kennedy, Film Comment.
