If you loved Stroszek, 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

Both films are directed by Werner Herzog, and they both carry the cult, devastating, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Stroszek, 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.
