TUE JULY 19, 2022 7:00 PM FITZCARRALDO $8.00 (member) ; $13.00 (general admission) Los Feliz 3 | ‘The Twilight Worlds of Werner Herzog: A Retrospective’ Tickets are no longer on sale for this event.
ABOUT THE FILM: Werner Herzog is the reigning champ of impossible real-life adventures undertaken in the name of cinema. And this masterpiece is the romantic flipside to AGUIRRE: THE WRATH OF GOD — a backbreaking epic that ecstatically treads the line between a portrait of madness and a genuine expression of obsession. FITZCARRALDO fictionalizes the mad, true-life mission of South American rubber baron Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald to establish an opera house in the Peruvian jungle — which can only be accomplished by hauling a gigantic river boat over a mountain. No special effects here — this is the real deal, with the impossible results executed before your eyes. FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: AGFA
