VHS - Fitzcarraldo by Werner Herzog

Iquitos is a town isolated in the middle of the Peruvian jungle at the turn of the century. On the outskirts, a few shacks are rotting in the mud. In the center are the splendid houses of the nouveaux-riches rubber barons. It is in this setting, rich in grotesque contrast, that Brian Sweeney Fitzcarraldo has his dream of bringing opera to the people. To finance his fantastic dream, Fitzcarraldo decides to exploit a vast area of rubber trees growing beyond the impassable Ucayala Falls. In order to circumvent this barrier, he literally has his huge steamboat lifted over a mountain from one branch of the river to the other, in order to achieve the impossible. Herzog at his finest. 

Great condition.
