Samenvatting

One of the most revered of contemporary filmmakers, Werner Herzog kept a diary during the making of "Fitzcarraldo", the lavish 1982 film that tells the story of a would-be robber baron who pulls a steamship over a hill to access a rich rubber territory. This title offers a glimpse into the mind of Herzog during the making of the film.

Werner Herzog is one of our most revered contemporary filmmakers, a visionary director who ceaselessly tests the boundaries of art. Fitzcarraldo, his lavish 1982 film about a would-be rubber baron who pulls a steamship over a hill to access a rich rubber territory, was hailed by critics around the globe and won Herzog the 1982 Outstanding Director Prize at Cannes.

The text of Conquest of the Useless emerged as if out of an Amazonian fever dream: the crew's camp in the heart of the jungle was attacked and burned to the ground; the production clashed with a border war; two planes crashed during filming; and Herzog had to unravel the logistics of moving a 320-ton steamship over a hill without the use of special effects.

More than just a journal or diary of the shooting of Fitzcarraldo, Conquest of the Useless is a work of art unto itself, which charts the inner landscapes born of the delirium of the jungle and offers an extraordinary glimpse into the mind of a genius during the making of one of his greatest achievements.

  • personal, honest and raw

    I am fan of Werner Herzog.
    Fitzcarraldo is not my favorite work of his (I prefer his documentaries) but the book is worth reading.
    You read it and you can hear his iconic voice running in your head.
    This journal, even though is not especially about the making of Fizcarraldo, will bring you closer to the context of the movie, you will experience the jungle thru Herzog’s eyes and nevertheless you’ll have a bite of the intense bumpy connection he had with Kinski.
    It’s personal, it’s honest, it’s raw. I loved it!
