:15:01
in a radius of about 100 miles, no
possiblity to find shelter existed.
:15:09
I slept in there with them.
:15:12
The last two days before shooting
started were rather chaotic.
:15:16
I tried to establish some order and
worked 2 days and nights straight.
:15:21
Before going to sleep at dawn,
for one hour, I told them:
:15:24
Please, wake me up when you take
off in the train, but they forgot.
:15:29
I had been forgotten and in a
white hot panic I realized...
:15:35
...the train was taking off. I was fully
dressed, apart from my shoes.
:15:38
I ran after the departing train, 200
yards barefoot, across broken stone.
:15:43
With bleeding feet I barely
reached a step and got on.
:15:49
That was perhaps the most
important shooting day in my life.
:15:55
When I finally arrived up here,
there was a dense fog.
:16:00
Everything was clouded over
and it was pouring rain.
:16:05
You could only see
as far as 100 ft.
:16:08
The mountain back there was
completely enshrouded in cloud.
:16:12
You couldn't see anything,
except gray clouds.
:16:14
There was indescribable chaos.
:16:21
On top of that, there was a big
problem with Kinski.
:16:28
First, he realized he would
only be a dot in the landscape...
:16:33
...and not the center of attention.
:16:36
He wanted to act in close-up with a
grim face, leading the entire army.
:16:43
I explained to him, that he wasn't
yet the leader of this expedition...
:16:48
...for that was Gonzalo Pizarro.
:16:52
It was very difficult...
:16:55
...because Kinski simply wasn't the
center of attention in this scene.
:16:59
Secondly, our concept of
landscape differed profoundly.
