If you loved Christiane F., try Fitzcarraldo
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Christiane F., the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Fitzcarraldo is
Aguirre without madness. An opera-obsessed colonialist schemes to harvest rubber by hauling a steamship over a small mountain. Kinski's thousand-yard stare sells the mad dream.
