Fitzcarraldo (1982)

  • Herzog, Werner
  • 1982, Peru, Werner Herzog, West Germany
  • 3 Comments

One of the greatest feats by any filmmaker in the history of cinema, Herzog’s film pits personal ambition against the forces of nature as a man desires to build an opera house in the middle of the Amazon jungle.

Superb political mystery-thriller that is stimulating, and featuring magnetic performances from Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek.

Godard’s Passion (1982)

  • Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1982, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • 1 Comment

Could be one of Godardโ€™s most beautifully-shot films, but its experimental use of unsync dialogue combined with a fragmentary and obtuse narrative makes this challenging to appreciate.
