May have been the most difficult movie to make, from a physical standpoint, ever. Just watching the boat "portage" wore me out.(If you are up to it view the companion documentary about the film's making to get the full effect.) Toss in obsessive behavior. the mad incongruity of an opulent opera house set amidst jungle squalor and the horrors of the Amazon rubber trade and you have an engrossing film.

Outstanding film full of human promise and tension (literally!), especially after seeing Aquire Wrath of God - Fitzcarraldo was very rewarding.
