We've seen a number of behind the scenes documentaries in our trip through Criterion -- A Constant Forge, My Metier, Ingmar Bergman Makes a Movie -- but most are much for reverential than Les Blanks' warts and all portrait of Werner Herzog's disastrous production of Fitzcarraldo.
Equal parts portrait of a mad artist and anthropological study of exploited native peoples, Burden of Dreams explores an obsession that boarders on colonialism.
