Opera and Amazon?? In common with other H. films throws intriguing ideas and bewitching imagery, such as 'the bit of creation God left unfinished'. The elder Indians for whom the evryday is an illusion and reality lies in dreams. The steamer, halfway up the hill, and knowing we're really watching Indians do this. Always the humour (the whole task seems pointless, as he sells his boat and invests in a mobile opera; after the successful traverse, the Indians let the steamer go, into the rapids; the pig.)
Great to see Claudia Cardinale. Miguel Enrique Bohorquez ('you are the cleverest drunk who ever staggered across this earth') also memorable, as is Popul Vuh's music and Thomas Mauch's photography. Kinski kept making me think of Aistair Sim and Tom Barley!
