    An almost crazy film that reflects cultural conflicts and ideological differences. It is not so much a hypothetical film with a documentary style as it is a social experimental film. The lines are very black and humorous, and every independent detail is thought-provoking. This is a masterpiece.

Fitzcarraldo quotes

  • Don Aquilino: The Indians call the rapids Chirimagua, "the angry spirits." Anyone who falls in there is lost. The bare-asses also say the water has no hair to hold on to.

  • Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': Is this a rubber tree?
