Movie Reviews of Burden of Dreams - Criterion Collection
Movie Review: Insanity in the Peruvian jungle
Summary: 4 Stars
"Burden of Dreams" recounts film director Werner Herzog's insane project to film "Fitzcarraldo". The project is continually dogged by disasters and the obsessive requirements of Herzog himself. The documentary-makers record the events in an impressionistic fashion, giving one a real sense of the otherworldy atmosphere of filming in the Peruvian jungle.
The DVD includes a throwaway item "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe" on Herzog's support of Errol Morris's "Gates of Heaven".
Summary of Burden of Dreams - Criterion Collection
For nearly five years, acclaimed German filmmaker Werner Herzog desperately tried to complete the most ambitious and difficult film of his career-Fitzcarraldo, the story of one man's attempt to build an opera house deep in the Amazon jungle. Documentary filmmaker Les Blank captured the unfolding of this production, made all the more perilous by Herzog's determination to shoot the most daunting scenes without models or special effects, including a sequence requiring hundreds of natives to pull a full-sized, 320-ton steamship over a small mountain. The result is an extraordinary document of the filmmaking process and a unique look into the single-minded passion of one of cinema#s most fearless directors.Documentary DVD Video
