Later, Herzog spoke of his difficulties when making the film, including casting problems, reshoots, language barriers, epic clashes with the star, and the logistics of moving a 320-ton steamship over a hill without the use of special effects. Hailed by critics around the globe, the film went on to win Herzog the 1982 Outstanding Director Prize at Cannes. Herzog's diary is a glimpse into the mind of a genius during the making of one of his greatest achievements.--From publisher description. 600 10 Herzog, Werner,|d1942-|vDiaries. 630 00 Fitzcarraldo (Motion picture) 650 0 Motion picture producers and directors|zGermany|vDiaries. 650 0 Motion pictures|xProduction and direction. 700 1 Winston, Krishna. 946 PFA PN1998.3.H47A3 2009.
