This week's installment of the The Market Arcade's Film Seminar Series is the out-of-this-world jungle adventure, Fitzcarraldo, by German living legend Werner Herzog (famous for Grizzly Man, Rescue Dawn, Nosferatu the Vampyre). I saw this movie a long time ago and it still feels fresh in my mind. If a good movie sticks with you a couple weeks after you see it, then a great movie like this one will stick with you for years. The film is roughly about this nutcase named Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, who is determined to build an opera house in the middle of a jungle and become the next big thing in the rubber trade. At some point through out the film, he commands his workers to pull a gigantic river boat up the side of a mountain and refuses to take no for an answer. If I had to pick just one of the movies to see from the Film Seminar Series list, this would probably be it, so don't miss out and head over to The Market Arcade tonight. The movie starts at 7:00pm and tickets are $9 for adults & $7 for students.
