Leave your thoughts about Fitzcarraldo.
| Time OutPaul TaylorHerzog charts an ironically circular course around an indulged, benevolent Aguirre; perversely illuminates colonialism with surrealism; and demonstrates once again in his always suspect yet somehow irresistible way that 'only dreamers move mountains'. |
| Movie ViewsRyan CracknellIf you have a dream, the only way to accomplish it is to face it head on. If your dream requires you to drag a massive boat up a mountainside, do it. So says director Werner Herzog in the bizarre but captivating Fitzcarraldo. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe film may have been intended as an ironic comment on the absurdity of human ambition, but it's an irony that explodes in Herzog's face. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaA abordagem de imersão adotada por Herzog, somada à performance intensa de Kinski, resulta numa experiência única e inesquecível. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh Larsen...captures both the bravery and the danger of Fitzcarraldo's determination. |
| Washington PostGary Arnold"Fitzcarraldo," the latest production from German director Werner Herzog, appears to be an advanced case of directorial self-absorption and self-glorification. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullIf there's a point to this, it's what Herzog's point always is: That obsession can drive you nuts. I'm not sure I needed a freaky German traipsing through the jungle for 2 1/2 hours to drive that point home. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergThere's some pretty staggering stuff here. |
| Film Comment MagazineElliott SteinThis botched, shapeless, gratuitous, ignoble, neo-colonialist film is so poorly made, written, edited, and directed that its centerpiece, its raison d'être -- the honest-to-God hauling of a boat up a mountain before your eyes -- is meaningless. |
| User ReviewAlexandre RHerzog's film is a miracle. Watch Burden of Dreams to fully grasp that statement. |
