Two is a Trend
The must see movie of the season is Fitzcarraldo! (IMDB: (1982) The story of Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, an extremely determined man who
intends to build an opera house in the middle of the Peruvian jungle.)
From Spiegel:
German actor Klaus Kinski was known for his passionate performances
that bordered on the manic. In countless films such as "Fitzcarraldo"
and "Aguirre: The Wrath of God" -- many directed by Werner Herzog -- he
often portrayed men on the very edge of madness.
The article is about Kinski's widow fighting against the release of his medical records from a Berlin clinic now he is dead.
From Pitchfork:
I've rented lots of good movies lately. One was Fitzcarraldo. You know the German director Werner Herzog? At ATP they showed the documentary of Fitzcarraldo.
Crazy. [Herzog] goes deep into the jungle and tries to lift a ship up
over a hill. You kind of have to see it to really believe it. That and
the documentary, [Burden of Dreams] about the making of Fitzcarraldo.
That is from an interview with Brendan Canning, part of the T.O. based collective Broken Social Scene, and out with a new "BSC presents: album.
Two mentions in two days of a 1982 German movie from a German and T.O. source, coincidence? I think not.
And is it just me or does Brendan Canning look like a junior Andrew Clark?
