BURDEN OF DREAMS
USA, 1982, Les Blank
The troubled production of Werner Herzog’s epic 1982 historical drama Fitzcarraldo—about an Irish adventurer’s obsession with building an opera house in early 20th-century South America—is captured in this unforgettable documentary. Filming alongside Herzog in the jungles of Peru, filmmaker Les Blank records one disaster after another: Jason Robards’ dropping out of the movie after becoming seriously ill (he was replaced by Klaus Kinski); plane crashes; torrential rains; attacks by hostile natives; and the dragging of a full-size steamship over a mountain by hand! The result is a unique work that equals or surpasses Herzog’s own. Cleveland revival premiere. DCP. 95 min. General admission $12; members, CIA/CSU I.D. holders, age 25 & under $9. https://argotpictures.com/
