Burden Of Dreams / Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe
(1982, LES BLANK) Cast members drop like flies, a prop ship is trapped in rapids, director makes impossible demands; riveting account of crazed - even for Herzog - shooting of Fitzcarraldo. "Suggests Herzog's own documentaries about visionaries...at once funny and... somewhat frightening." - Dave Kehr. Plus Blank's WERNER HERZOG EATS HIS SHOE (1979) The director consumes footwear after losing a bet that Errol Morris's GATES OF HEAVEN would never be finished.
