Burden of Dreams (1982) - Les Blank
Well some people like the documentary more than the film, I for one can't agree. What makes Herzog interesting is his hipnotic quality, which is lacking in this documentary. This seems more like a companion piece making of. The subject of the making of Fitzcarraldo is an interesting enough story, and that's what gives the film any significance. The DVD is great, if for nothing else the inclusion of Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe, which in my opinion is a more interesting documentary.
