FILM SHOWN
4:30 PM, NOV. 24 (SUN.)
At the Detroit Film Theatre, 
5200 Woodward, Detroit; (313) 

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).
