The Amazon rain forest, 1979. The crew of Fitzcarraldo (1982), a film directed by German director Werner Herzog, soon finds itself with problems related to casting, tribal struggles and accidents, among many other setbacks; but nothing compared to dragging a huge steamboat up a mountain, while Herzog embraces the path of a certain madness to make his vision come true.
Editor's Verdict
"Burden of Dreams is a documentary about the making of the film Fitzcarraldo, set entirely in the Amazon rainforest during the late 1970s/early 1980s. There is no evidence that the Christmas season, plot elements, themes, iconography, or resolution have any connection to Christmas."
