Audio 3: Commentary by Director Werner Herzog (in English)
Fitzcarraldo is an obsessed opera lover who wants to build an opera in the jungle. To accomplish this he first has to make a fortune in the rubber business, and his cunning plan involves hauling an enormous river boat across a small mountain with aid from the local Indians.
Most audio commentaries from directors are downright disappointing but Herzog never fails to deliver, lots of trivia, anecdotes, you can really sense his love for some of the lay actors like the guy playing the cook when he explains their qualities, philosophical digressions…eloquently articulated with seemingly effortless abandon. Brilliant commentaries like this one really enhance my admiration of a film. The “Burden of Dreams” docu is also highly recommended. Gives you an idea what kind of sheer willpower and leadership skills it took to overcome all those obstacles.
Thank you so much for posting more Herzog!
