Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Herzog made this during the chaotic Fitzcarraldo production, meaning he's literally describing disasters that are still unfolding.
This captures the New German Cinema at its most feral — Fassbinder and Wenders were making their own portraits, but neither had Herzog's kamikaze charisma.
