Movie / film detail
For nearly five years, acclaimed German director Werner Herzog desperately tried to complete one of the most ambitious and difficult projects of his career: Fitzcarraldo, the story of one man’s attempt to build an opera house deep in the Amazon jungle. Documentary filmmaker Les Blank captured the unfolding of this production, made more perilous by Herzog’s determination to shoot the most daunting scenes without models or special effects, including a sequence requiring hundreds of Indigenous locals to pull a full-size 320-ton steamship over a small mountain. The result is an extraordinary document of the filmmaking process and a unique look into the single-minded mission of one of cinema’s most fearless directors. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration, supervised by filmmaker Harrod Blank, director Les Blank’s son, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack Alternate uncompressed monaural soundtrack One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features Audio commentary featuring Les Blank, editor and sound recordist Maureen Gosling, and Fitzcarraldo director Werner Herzog Interview with Herzog Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (1980), a short film by Blank Deleted scenes Behind-the-scenes photos taken by Gosling Trailer New English subtitle translation and English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by film scholar Paul Arthur and a book of excerpts from Blank’s and Gosling’s production journals
