:27:03
He hated everybody...
:27:06
...was impulsive, unpredictable,
half-mad. He was not quite normal.
:27:13
Aggressive.
A diabolical character.
:27:17
He always went around armed.
:27:25
One day you threatened
him with death.
:27:29
You couldn't take it any longer...
:27:31
...when he wanted to walk out
before the end of shooting.
:27:34
A lot of scenes were still missing.
:27:37
And how many sacrifices
had we made?
:27:47
A few days journey from Machu
Picchu, down the Urubamba river.
:27:53
Here, at the rapids of the Pongo,
we shot parts of "Fitzcarraldo".
:28:01
During the dry season, with
the water at its lowest level...
:28:06
...this is quite harmless.
:28:25
Kinski was a peculiar mixture of
physical cowardice and courage.
:28:32
A wasp nearby could cause him
to scream for his mosquito net...
:28:36
...and for a doctor with a syringe.
:28:40
I shall never forget one moment,
that was right here in the Pongo.
:28:46
We had managed to drag our
huge ship up to here, inch by inch...
:28:51
...against the current. The water
rises 30 feet higher here...
:28:58
...and then all hell breaks loose.
