FILM SHOWN

At the Detroit Film Theatre,

833-7900. Werner Herzog was
already a legend by 1982 when
Fitzcarraldo, his magnum opus,
was finally released. The film
tells the story of a visionary
adventurer, played by Klaus
Kinski, who is obsessed with
bringing an opera house to
the Amazon for a performance
by Caruso. The film was shot
on location over four years,
including a dramatic scene
where a 320-ton steamship is
hauled over a mountain — one
of many production challenges
that drove Herzog to the brink
of insanity. Burden of Dreams
is Les Blank’s classic behind-
the-scenes documentary about
Herzog’s great effort to complete
Fitzcarraldo. (95 minutes).
