...Hamburg, up from 42.7% in the election seven months ago. The Christian Democrats dropped to 38.6% from 43.2%, while the environmentalist and pacifist group known as the Greens receded to 6.8%, from 7.7%. Since the Social Democrats did not get a working majority in the June election, Mayor Klaus von Dohnanyi tried forming a coalition with the Greens to run Hamburg. The attempt failed, and because the Social Democrats did not have the majority required to govern on their own, new elections were required...
...offices during the Nazi regime were mainly slavish copies of those done by Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler's official photographer. Last week, 37 years after the German leader's death, the only known candid live portrait of the Fuhrer, carefully hidden from the Gestapo by the worried artist Klaus Richter, went on display at the Berlin Museum for the first time. Richter caught Hitler in profile almost by accident in 1941, while making sketches for a commissioned portrait of Luftwaffe Chief Hermann Goring. The German leader suddenly appeared with Benito Mussolini, and while Hitler ranted about "the final solution...
Fitzearruldo (Klaus Kinski) is the Indians name for Brian Sweency Fazgerald, a half-crazed, half-Irish failed enterpreneur who is driven by an extraordinary obsession with opera. He hits upon the grand scheme of building an aperu house in the middle of the Peruviam Amazon jungle--a shrine to his god Caruso. To finance his brainechild, Fitzearruldo attempts to claims a large expanse of unexplored territory and cash in on the huge rubber free crop. In order to reach the area, however, he must unvigute up one river and cross over a ridge of land to another river--drugging...
...Klaus Kinski's performance accounts for much of Fitzcarraldo's failure. He overacts ferociously at times to the point of self-parody. He seems stuck in some personal theater, far removed from the film. And for all his furious energy, he is completely cramped by his own style. We can only agree when Fitzcarraldo shouts. "I am the spectacle of the forest!" Though Claudia Cardinale and the rest of the cast try their hardest, they are lost in the overkill of the director and his star. Most ironical of all, Fitzcarraldofack's music. Though supposedly at the heart...
...Arnold Schwarzenegger and with three times the dark charm. Grande Othelo, who starred 40 years ago in Orson Welles' unfinished film It's All True, is the wrinkled old retainer of one of Fitz's broken dreams. And steering the vessel through precarious waters is Klaus Kinski, once the psychotic stalker of Herzog's Aguirre, Woyzeck and Nosferatu, now a Kodachrome picture of the imperialist as jolly fantast. It is one of the many odd pleasures of Fitzcarraldo to watch Kinski's 80 or so teeth, which are usually forged into a vampire...
