Zisha Breitbart is a blacksmith by jew incredible strength. Poland arrived in Berlin in the early thirties, where he became a freak in the employ of a shady contractor. A series of prophetic visions to predict a black future for his people. But back home in his sermons will not be heard. Written by the director and inspired by a true story, Invincible (Werner Herzog - 2001) was released in Italian only seven years after it was presented at the Venice Film Festival and is certainly not among the masterpieces of Herzog. Assume from the start the outline of a fairy tale, with characters well defined and the features out of the ordinary, embodying virtues and defects stereotyped. But then seems to lose the thread of the story and ends up getting bogged down in a narrative without rhythm, to which the director tries to come to the rescue by entering dream sequences and visionary, very valuable in terms of purely director, but the only result is to disorient the viewer (which symbolize what the crabs?). After this film, and especially after the last of Coppola, I reassessing increasingly Tim Roth and his versatility.
