great short sports doc that captures a top athlete in the zone, facing his fears. Love the vintage 70s look and captures the danger of the sport too which makes Steiner's achievements on film even more remarkable.

Walter Steiner is Fitzcarraldo's or Aguirre's brother according to Werner Herzog. With Popol Vuh as musical background, Steiner's jumps become doors to Ecstasyland. Werner Herzog's commentary, as narrator or journalist, is also first-class: dramatic, tragic and captivating. Masterpiece.

In his 'Great Movies' review of "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser," Roger Ebert mentioned that he saw this documentary as the most representative work of Herzog's career, the story of a man whose "limitation is his gift." This film is just another of the brilliant piece in Werner Herzog's astonishing oeuvre.
