Burden of Dreams
Cast members (Jason Robards Jr., Mick Jagger) drop like flies, a prop ship is trapped in the rapids, and director Werner Herzog makes impossible demands. Burden of Dreams is a riveting account of the crazed shooting of Fitzcarraldo, with unhinged star Klaus Kinski, and Herzog haranguing hundreds of indigenous people to pull a 320-ton steamship over a small mountain. Anchored by an as-it-was-happening interview with Herzog himself, as he details his unflinching vision for a project that took four years to pull off. Newly restored in 4K. You can double-bill your screening of Burden of Dreams with Fitzcarraldo — the feature film that Burden of Dreams is about the making of!
