Notes
General Note
"These texts are not reports on the actual filming [of Fitzcarraldo]--of which little is said. Nor are they journals, except in a very general sense. They might be described instead as inner landscapes, born of the delirium of the jungle. But even that may not be entirely accurate--I am not sure."--preface by Werner Herzog, Jan. 2004.
Description
An account drawn from a diary kept by the revered filmmaker during the 1982 production of "Fitzcarraldo" describes the unique difficulties he faced in creating the film, from cast member clashes to the challenges of moving a 320-ton steamship over a hill.
