Fitzcarraldo (1982)		Great upload of a great film JamieEduardo!

A question though: I'm interested to know why you describe this film specifically as an Hispanic Interest Film?

Because it was filmed in South America?

I see this film as a study of one man's towering ambition and megalomanical obsession of starting an opera school in the Peruvian jungle by dragging a flat-bottomed paddle steamer riverboat over a mountain. Yes, there's a metaphor in there somewhere!

Shouldn't it therefore be a human-interest film, then? Or a maritime interest film? Or even an one man's towering ambition and megalomanical obsession of starting an opera school in the Peruvian jungle by dragging a flat-bottomed paddle steamer riverboat over a mountain interest film?

I'm of course stretching the concept there, but it seems to me to be more of a European idea of the strange, dark, tough wilderness and it's challenges to humankind's crazy ideas and ambitions, which will always be thwarted by some kind of natural retribution (if humankind doesn't respect the wilderness)... Most of Werner Herzog's films, in my opinion, deal with themes such as these.

10 Rillington Place (1971)		File under: Creepy. This film is all the more creepy because it's based on true events. Attenborough's portrayal of Christie is so normal and matter-of-fact, it makes it even more creepier. This film really gets under your skin. In a word, creepy.

P.S.: Creepy.
