Burden of Dreams follows famous filmmaker/documentarian Werner Herzog, though as the subject, as he makes his epic Fitzcarraldo. This with the same mad ambition as his protagonist of the fictional film he is making. Filmmaking can be a madness in its own right, later also shown with Heart of Darkness for Coppola/Apocalypse Now, but featured here as well in following a true eccentric, followed by insanity. In a way that is already more than enough. This as Herzog alone is endlessly fascinating, combined with the even madder Kinski, all the more fascinating, combined with the insanity of his endeavor all the greater.
5/5
