The story of Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, an extremely determined man who intends to build an opera house in the middle of a jungle.
From memory: Werner Herzog's magnum opus is a massive and powerful film, it's story of a Gargantuan and nearly mad project clearly references to the making of this work itself, captured in breathtaking pictures and set pieces, and with Klaus Kinski in a role that is obviously the culmination (and summation) of his career.
Halliwell****: "A strange and brilliant film centring on the hero's successful attempt to drag his massive boat from one river to another."
Maltin****: "Vivid, fascinating portrait...Astonishing and captivating movie, in spite of its length; admittedly not to everyone's taste."
