Fitzcarraldo is a 1982 film directed by Werner Herzog that tells the compelling and surreal story of Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, an ambitious and passionate man, played by Klaus Kinski, who dreams of building an opera house in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. Set in the late 19th century, the film captures Fitzcarraldo's obsessive quest to transport a massive steamship over a mountain to access a rubber-rich part of the jungle, showcasing not only his determination and ingenuity but also the profound conflicts between civilization and the natural world, as well as the devastating impacts of colonialism.
