I slutet av 1800-talet får operafantasten Fitzcarraldo en vision om att han ska bygga ett operahus längst in i Amazonas regnskog. Alla utom hans trogna följeslagerska, bordellmamman Molly, anser att han är skvatt galen. Segerviss beger sig Fitzcarraldo in i djungeln ombord på en stor ångbåt, men stöter på hinder när ett berg envist ligger mellan honom och hans dröm. För att nå sitt mål bestämmer han sig för att göra det omöjliga - att släpa hela båten över berget!<br/><br/>Inspelningen av den verklighetsbaserade FITZCARRALDO är en av historiens mest omskrivna, kantad av stora bråk mellan regissören Herzog och den ökänt argsinte skådespelaren Kinski. Omtalat är också den yttersta realism Herzog krävde. I stället för att filma i en studio släpades den 320 ton tunga båten över berget - på riktigt! Filmen är ett storslaget monument över en mästares okuvliga vilja.<br/><br/>DIGITALT RESTAURERAD<br/>BÄSTA REGI<br/>Cannes Film Festival<br/><br/>***** "MÄSTERVERK" AFTONBLADET<br/><br/>***** "ETT STORARTAT ÄVENTYR" EXPRESSEN<br/><br/>BONUSMATERIAL:<br/>RADICAL DREAMER.

In 1932, young Jewish blacksmith Zishe Breitbart (Ahola) travels to Berlin, where he has accepted an appointment to appear as a strongman at Hanussen's Palace of the Occult. His new boss soon asks him to perform dressed as the Aryan hero Siegfried in order to please the Nazi clientele, and despite his reservations, Zishe agrees; but when his brother sees him in costume, he rejects the charade, and declares on stage that he is Jewish, which results in a riot at the club. Meanwhile, he gets to know the club's owner Erik-Jan Hanussen (Roth), a clairvoyant and hypnotist who has secrets of his own.<br/><br/><i>Typ: Blu-ray / Restored</i>
