WERNER HERZOG | WEST GERMANY, PERU | 1982 | 158 MIN | PG | GERMAN, SPANISH, ENGLISH
The legendary epic, known for its quixotic, troubled production as much as for what was eventually committed to celluloid. FITZCARRALDO chronicles madman Klaus Kinski as a rubber baron in Peru and his unrelenting determination to relocate a gigantic steamship over the Andes mountains with little regard for safety or sanity.
Cast: Klaus Kinski, Claudia Cardinale, José Lewgoy, Miguel Ángel Fuentes
Part of the Philadelphia Film Society's PASSION PIT series.
Inspired by the audacity and admiration for Francis Ford Coppola’s drive to bring his dreams to fruition with MEGALOPOLIS and by PFS favorites like Richard Kelly’s SOUTHLAND TALES. “Passion Pit” offers a reevaluation of daring films from beloved filmmakers that defied common sense, survived production purgatory, and brought their unadulterated artistic visions to the screen.
