Burden of Dreams: Screenplay, Journals, Reviews, Photographs
Blank, Les and James Bogan (Eds.). North Atlantic Books, 1984. Softbound. Design by Paula Morrison. Cover art by Monte Dolack. The making of Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo was plagued by a series of setbacks, including the recasting and rewriting of cast members Jason Robards and Mick Jagger, the notorious tension between the director and replacement lead Klaus Kinski, and the travails spawned by the reenactment of the portage of an entire steamship over the Isthmus of Fitzcarrald. This hard-to-find record, a companion to Blank's cinematic chronicle of the film's creation, collects key documents associated with its production and release.
Spine is tight and square, but has some cosmetic creasing. Clean and unmarked interior. Some light shelf-wear, including areas of gentle edge-wear and lightly bumped corners. 286 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
