Il Conformista, Fitzcarraldo

Il Conformista

This is a very good movie. The subject is relevant to our times, and the cinematography is powerful. The performances are ok. I really liked the theme, and the way it was handled. Excellent writing. 8.5/10

Fitzcarraldo

Herzog does his thing about "man vs nature" debate. Though this time, it was less about nature and more about man. "I will move a mountain", says it all. The lead character is very interesting, and is played by Klaus Kinski. It was very nice to watch Kinski portray this different kind of madness (compared to Aguirre). Fitz is very inspiring too. The story was nice, and I really wish the film was 15 minutes shorter. There are some excellent shots like Fitz shaking hands with the Indians, felling trees, the ship going up the ramp etc. 8.0/10
