From IMDB

In 1932 Poland, a young Blacksmith goes to a local circus attempting to win a prize by defeating the local strongman in a wrestling match. The Blacksmith is then discovered by a talent agent from Germany, who speaks of furtunes to be made on the stages of Germany's theater parlors and nightclubs. Arriving in Berlin, the Blacksmith is greeted with a tense political atmosphere, as Germany is just months away from falling under the political power of the Nazi Party. Performing as "Siegfried the Aryan", the Blacksmith is at first admired by the Nazis for his display of Germanic strength. Revealing he is a Jew, however, the Blacksmith must leave Germany for fear of his life, and returns to Poland, where he wanrs his fellow Poles about the danger that Nazis represent. The Blacksmith never sees his prophecy come true, however, as he is injured in a strength match and dies just weeks before Adolf Hitler becomes Chancellor of Germany."
It is an alright movie. Tim Roth is great but overall it is not that good. Jouko Ahola is somewhat believable mainly due to his size and him being a real strongman. He is not a great actor by any stretch of the imagination but he does an appropriate job.

if you haven't seen the Herzog/Kinski collaborations already, you might wanna wait. Invincible is Herzog's most recent film (I don't think he has a newer one out yet?)

what do you mean by Herzog/Kinski collaborations? i've seen Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, and Cobra Verde (and posted about them here)--are you saying i should wait until i've seen more?

Kinski is long gone dude
I actually prefer Herzog's documentary's over his dramatic work for the most part.

i know kinski's gone--i was just wondering if by "don't see MBF until you've seen k-h collaborations" you mean that the three i've seen aren't enough.
