in a radius of about 100 miles, no
possiblity to find shelter existed.

:15:09
I slept in there with them.
:15:12
The last two days before shooting
started were rather chaotic.

:15:16
I tried to establish some order and
worked 2 days and nights straight.

:15:21
Before going to sleep at dawn,
for one hour, I told them:

:15:24
Please, wake me up when you take
off in the train, but they forgot.

:15:29
I had been forgotten and in a
white hot panic I realized...

:15:35
...the train was taking off. I was fully
dressed, apart from my shoes.

:15:38
I ran after the departing train, 200
yards barefoot, across broken stone.

:15:43
With bleeding feet I barely
reached a step and got on.

:15:49
That was perhaps the most
important shooting day in my life.

:15:55
When I finally arrived up here,
there was a dense fog.

:16:00
Everything was clouded over
and it was pouring rain.

:16:05
You could only see
as far as 100 ft.

:16:08
The mountain back there was
completely enshrouded in cloud.

:16:12
You couldn't see anything,
except gray clouds.

:16:14
There was indescribable chaos.
:16:21
On top of that, there was a big
problem with Kinski.

:16:28
First, he realized he would
only be a dot in the landscape...

:16:33
...and not the center of attention.
:16:36
He wanted to act in close-up with a
grim face, leading the entire army.

:16:43
I explained to him, that he wasn't
yet the leader of this expedition...

:16:48
...for that was Gonzalo Pizarro.
:16:52
It was very difficult...
:16:55
...because Kinski simply wasn't the
center of attention in this scene.

:16:59
Secondly, our concept of
landscape differed profoundly.
