Fitzcarraldo is such an intriguing character, and Kinski is perfect for the part. I like Jason Robards, but it would have been a much different movie with him as the star.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351431577484530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-41925635935924390312013-01-04T16:59:14.944-06:002013-01-04T16:59:14.944-06:00YES!

I think this movie could be a good start if you're looking to check out one of his films. It's slow-moving at times, but the story is so interesting.

I've actually never seen any film by Werner Herzog (yeah, shame on me) and I've just learned recently he's an actor as well.

It basically forced me to watch movies I might have skipped. In most cases, I've been glad that I did it.

Given what Herzog was trying to do, it doesn't surprise me that you liked it even better. It's hard to say for sure, but I may have enjoyed Hearts of Darkness more than Apocalypse Now. That's saying a lot, but there are so many interesting stories behind the scenes.
