Fascinating insight into one of the most notorious relationships in modern filmmaking. Very disconcerting watching Kinski's fits of rage, more so because I've been exposed to something very similar at home. What's more, I think Herzog's character and demeanor is very similar to my own, so it's very difficult to understand why he would willingly seek out such madness...or is it? The clips from some early scenes from Fitzcarraldo which was originally supposed to be played by Jason Robards and feature Mick Jagger certainly show a world of difference in talent and the end result would have probably been a far lesser film...
