Podcasts about Fitzcarraldo

Es ranken sich wohl mehr Mythen um Werner Herzog als um je einen anderen Regisseur. Zu danken hat er es neben seiner Selbstdarstellungskunst vor allem auch den wahnsinnigen Eskapaden die seine Kollaborationen mit Klaus Kinski ausmachten. Spätestens seit Herzog seine Crew für die Dreharbeiten zu Aguirre und später Fitzcarraldo gleich mehrfach durch den Urwald und über den Amazonas trieb, ist das Duo der Inbegriff von Exzentrik und Kompromisslosigkeit im Film. Doch wozu der Aufwand? Kann man Größenwahn nur größenwahnsinnig inszenieren, oder steckt mehr hinter Herzogs Methode als bloßer Realismus um des Realismus willens. Wir kommen drauf zu sprechen, bei FilMic.

Ist das Hollywood oder die Realität? – Diese Frage stellt sich der Vielreisende Christian Rommel gelegentlich, wenn er sich an seine wildesten Reise-Abenteuer erinnert. Zum Beispiel: an jenes, von dem er diesem zweiten Teil unserer Doppelfolge erzählt. In ihr nimmt Christian uns mit in einige unwegsame Gebiete irgendwo auf Borneo – und mitten hinein in eine Serie von Hindernissen, Niederschlägen und Rückschlägen, die ihm alles abverlangten.

Have we got over a cultural reluctance to read literature in translation?Alice and Charlotte have both been reading Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico, and it's got us thinking about the unique experience of reading literature from another culture. In today's episode, we speak to the novelist and translator Lauren Elkin about what it's like to render a book in a different language, the scourge of bad translations, and whether translators are finally beginning to get more respect and recognition.We also discuss the huge impact of Fitzcarraldo's publishing on contemporary literature, the importance of good design in publishing, hip literary parties, and why some books become widely read in some languages but never find their audience in others.In Haste is presented by Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie, and is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions, with original music by Maria Chiara Argiró and graphic design by Alicia Fernandes.

"Being published in English is a big milestone..." Vincenzo Latronico is here to talk about his first novel translated into English - PERFECTION, published by Fitzcarraldo editions and translated from the Italian by Sophie Hughes. Welcome to Rippling Points, more content insights and inspiration into the craft of literature: - How and why he set his novel in Berlin, or why locations don't become so important for the novel - The global market of translation and the pleasure of being translated into English Vincenzo is one of the most distinguished novelists writing in Italian today. He has also translated many books into Italian, by authors such as George Orwell, Oscar Wilde, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Hanif Kureishi. In PERFECTION, there's something missing from Anna and Tom's life, and they can't quite put their finger on what it is that is missing. It drives them to impatience and to the point of leaving their apartment in Berlin. But is it merely an itch they cannot scratch, or does it relate to a deeper lack of authenticity that strikes their core?

First published in Italian three years ago Vincenzo Latronico's Perfection is brought to an English speaking readership for the first time by Fitzcarraldo who publish Sophie Hughes' exceptional translation on February 13th.Taking inspiration from George Perec's - Things, A Story of The Sixties,  Perfection is the story of Anna and Tom, an Italian couple living a carefully curated life in Berlin as freelance graphic designers. The novel purposefully remains on the surface of their lives, never letting us into Anna or Tom's thoughts - and the effect is uncannily familiar - we almost scroll through the chapters, an eerie sense of recognition rising. At it's heart, Perfection questions the corrupting individualism that we are relentlessly sold. It documents both the search for a lost authenticity and the reactionary response which that search engenders. And, ultimately, it portrays both the undefinable lack at the heart of modern life and the self delusion that lack necessitates.@fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine

Joe talks about one of the world's great filmmakers, new material not really working, a good reminder to not make presumptions about the audience.

L'émission 28 minutes du 12/12/2024 Werner Herzog : le cinéaste qui explore le monde avec démesure À 82 ans, Werner Herzog a tourné plus de 60 films, comme celui sur la grotte Chauvet et écrit plusieurs livres. Pourtant, au fil des interviews, il répète qu'il est “d'abord un écrivain, qui accessoirement fait des films”. Certaines de ses réalisations comme “Aguirre, la colère de Dieu” ou “Fitzcarraldo” ont marqué des générations de cinéphiles. Une rétrospective de ses films réalisés dans les années 2010-2020 est proposée au Centre Pompidou jusqu'au 22 décembre. Dans ses mémoires, “Chacun pour soi et Dieu contre tous”, Werner Herzog a décidé de raconter ses multiples vies. Né en 1942 de parents nazis, une question le taraude : “Cette époque nazie est toujours une énigme pour moi. Je cherche encore.” Dans son dernier documentaire, “Au cœur des volcans, requiem pour Katia et Maurice Krafft”, en salles le 18 décembre, il utilise les images de ce couple de vulcanologues alsaciens morts en 1991 lors de l'éruption du Mont Unzen, au Japon, victimes d'une coulée pyroclastique.  Après la chute de Bachar al-Assad, l'heure du retour au pays pour les réfugiés syriens ?Après la chute du régime de Bachar al-Assad, de nombreux pays européens s'interrogent sur le sort des Syriens ayant trouvé refuge sur leur sol. Dès le lundi 9 décembre, l'Allemagne, la Norvège, les Pays-Bas, la Suède ou encore la Grèce ont annoncé suspendre l'examen des demandes d'asile en provenance de la Syrie. La France travaille sur le sujet mais n'a pas encore pris de décision car la situation est “incertaine, mouvante”, estime Didier Leschi, directeur de l'Office français de l'immigration et de l'intégration. L'Autriche a, de son côté, annoncé préparer un "programme de rapatriement et d'expulsion" des réfugiés syriens ayant déjà obtenu l'asile. En Allemagne, principale terre d'accueil avec un million de réfugiés, la question divise la classe politique : "Celui qui célèbre la “Syrie libre” en Allemagne n'a manifestement plus de raison de fuir. Il devrait retourner immédiatement en Syrie", a écrit sur X la candidate du parti d'extrême droite AfD à la chancellerie, Alice Weidel. Pourtant, la situation reste instable en Syrie avec la prise de pouvoir du parti islamiste HTS, qui pourrait provoquer une autre vague migratoire. De l'autre côté, certains redoutent que des djihadistes européens reviennent en Europe comme en 2015. Ces craintes sont-elles justifiées ? Enfin, Xavier Mauduit remonte au 18ème siècle quand les États-Unis ont essayé d'envahir le Canada par le Québec et Marie Bonnisseau nous parle des “dating wrapped” qui fleurissent sur les réseaux sociaux : des diapos dans lesquels les célibataires reviennent sur leur année amoureuse.  28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

On this episode we speak to Alejandro Zambra about his latest book, Childish Literature; a chronicle of early fatherhood. Written in a 'state of attachment', it is a beautiful collection of roaming essays, poetry and short stories - that show how the birth and growth of a child changes not only the present and the future but also reshapes our perceptions of the past. We also hear from Alejandro's close friend and translator Megan McDowell on the process of their working relationship and her role in bringing this graceful, funny and poignant account of parenthood into being.'Every beat and pattern of being alive becomes revelatory and bright when narrated by Alejandro Zambra. He is a modern wonder.' Rivka Galchen, author of Everyone Knows Your Mother is a Witch Childish Literature is published by Fitzcarraldo  @fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine

Send us a textNosferatu 1922's reputation grew down the years, especially among film lovers. One of these was German master director Werner Herzog. As the 70s ended, Herzog determined that he wanted to remake the film --- an homage to what he felt was the greatest film ever to come from Germany. In Season 1 of the pod, we've looked at the scope of Herzog's work, and up close at one of his most moving films, Fitzcarraldo. Herzog is well-known for his capture of humans surviving under trying conditions, accomplishing tasks that are seemingly impossible, or unlikely. Further, he himself filmed in locations that would challenge even the best-equipped film companies --- in mountains, volcanoes, deserts, along the Amazon, amid the Siberian taiga, across the frozen Midwest. His work on Fitzcarraldo had led his backers to dub him “The Conquistador of the Useless,” as he struggled for years to film a steamship pulled by humans over a mountain. But he's characterized himself as someone who captures the dreams of others, even dreams that turn out to be impossible to realize.Website and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

This week, we discuss two films from two prominent New German Cinema directors. The first is Until the End of the World (1991), an epic science fiction adventure drama directed by Wim Wenders. Set at the turn of the millennium in the shadow of a world-changing catastrophe, the film follows a man and woman, played by William Hurt and Solveig Dommartin, as they are pursued across the globe, in a plot involving a device that can record visual experiences and visualise dreams. The second is Fitzcarraldo (1982), an epic adventure-drama written, produced and directed by Werner Herzog, and starring Klaus Kinski as would-be rubber baron Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, an Irishman known in Peru as Fitzcarraldo, who is determined to transport a steamship over the Andes mountains to access a rich rubber territory in the Amazon basin.

Jacqueline Rose in conversation with Helen Charman: Feminist critic and writer Jacqueline Rose, author most recently of The Plague: Living Death in Our Times, published by Fitzcarraldo in 2023, speaks to critic and academic Helen Charman, author of Mother State: A Political History of Motherhood, publishing in August 2024. The conversation touches on South Africa's case against Israel in the International Court of Justice, the necessity of countenancing multiple and sometimes contradictory truths at once, and motherhood as a confrontation with life's mess and fragility.

This week, legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog. He's made over 70 movies – most of them documentaries like Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, the Wrath of God, and Grizzly Man. Herzog's style is so distinctive that his films are recognizable practically from the moment they start. His techniques can be controversial too, when it comes to his unusual casting, and his own presence in the stories he's telling. On Oct 21st, 2023, Herzog came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk to Caterina Fake about filmmaking and writing, including his new memoir, Every Man for Himself and God Against All.

From 1974 to 1984 Henry Winkler played the character of Arthur Fonzarelli, “The Fonz”, in the hit American sitcom, Happy Days. The role dominated the public's perception of him, but despite being seen as the epitome of cool, he had many of his own demons to wrestle with. Henry joins Front Row to discuss his new autobiography, Being Henry: The Fonz…and Beyond. The composer David Fennessy on his piece Conquest of the Useless which is being performed in Glasgow this weekend. It was inspired by Werner Herzog's obsessive film Fitzcarraldo which features a large steamship being dragged over a hill in the Amazon. And with Northern Ballet planning to tour without a live orchestra from Spring 2024, executive director David Collins discusses the move with Naomi Pohl, General Secretary of the Musician's Union; and Debra Craine, chief dance critic of the Times, reflects on the difference live music makes to dance performances.

Werner Herzog is one of the most idiosyncratic, original and prolific filmmakers of modern times, having made nearly 80 films over six decades. His features include Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre Wrath of God and Rescue Dawn, and his documentaries include the multi award-winning Grizzly Man, Cave Of Forgotten Dreams and Into the Abyss. Werner Herzog productions are the stuff of cinema legend, with stories of audacious shoots in inaccessible locations. He's also written several books, including a newly published memoir called Every Man For Himself And God Against All. Speaking to John Wilson from Los Angeles where he lives, Werner Herzog recalls his impoverished childhood in a remote Bavarian valley at the end of the Second World War. He says that, as a teenager, his discovery of a book about the Lascaux cave paintings was ‘like a bolt of lightning' to his creative imagination, and led to him making a documentary film about prehistoric cave art many years later. He describes how his films often start with a vivid or unusual image, and how he seeks to capture a sense of awe at the power of the natural world. Werner Herzog discusses the extremely arduous and dangerous conditions in which he made some of his best known films, including Fitzcarraldo and four other films starring the temperamentally volatile lead actor Klaus Kinski. Known for his deadpan, Bavarian-accented narration of his own documentary films, Herzog also reflects on how his distinctive voice has led to him being cast in menacing roles in Hollywood films, including Jack Reacher alongside Tom Cruise, and even a cameo in The Simpsons. Producer: Edwina Pitman

The renowned German filmmaker Werner Herzog has become known for many things: his notoriously ambitious film productions like “Fitzcarraldo” and “Aguirre, The Wrath of God”; his expansive documentaries; and his mellifluous voice, which he has used to great effect lately as an actor in productions like “Jack Reacher'' and “The Mandalorian.” But, according to Herzog himself, his fabulist work as his own biographer deserves just as much praise. “That's my approach, that is beyond outside of facts,” Herzog tells David Remnick. “And it requires stylizations, it requires somehow shaping, creating something like poetry, a sense of poetry, that gives us an approach into truth.” In a wide-ranging conversation, the eighty-one-year-old Herzog looks back on his career, his newfound success embracing the “self irony” of his persona (“I had to spread terror . . . I knew I would be good at it,” he deadpans about his “Reacher” role), and why he never watched a “Star Wars” film until recently. “I am somebody who reads, there is not a day where I do not read,” the prolific Herzog says. “I love what I do. I think I made—in the last two years—two books, three films, and I'm working on a new feature film, and I'm publishing a new book next year.”

Director Les Blank turns his unsparing eye on obsessive visionary director Werner Herzog as he trudges through a years-long journey to film Fitzcarraldo in the South American rainforest.  Everything that can go wrong does, and Herzog, the film, and the viewers are left to ponder: is all this worth it?  Maybe it is, but since this is the only Herzog-related film in the Collection, we're thrilled for the chance to discuss one of the defining auteurs of the late 20th century.

This week, Adam was joined in the writer's studio by Marie Darrieussecq, whose latest book Sleepless (translated by Penny Hueston and published by Fitzcarraldo) is one writer's attempt to describe, understand, and perhaps overcome her insomnia. The passages in Sleepless that take us into the mind of the insomniac are somewhat like the experience of insomnia itself— at times fragmented and hynopgogic, at others dazzlingly alert and perceptive—while those that investigate the potential cures are captivating in their detail, description and weirdness. For those whose lives have never been blighted by insomnia, Sleepless will be a fascinating insight into this strangest and most psychologically traumatic of conditions, while those who have suffered it will find in these pages solidarity and solace.Buy Sleepless: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/sleepless-5Marie Darrieussecq was born in Bayonne in 1969 and is recognized as one of the leading voices of contemporary French literature.

I can count on one hand the number of films whose introductions startled or entranced me. Citizen Kane, yes, 2001, sure. But one that fascinated me was at a free showing (thanks student ID) during grad school. The film was Aguirre, The Wrath Of God. Besides an interesting title, the opening sequence showed a trail of people traversing a huge, verdant mountain, surrounded in deep, then evaporating fog; conquistadors in heavy breastplates and helmets, indigenous natives impressed into service carrying immense loads, priests, elegant women, horses, donkeys. On the soundtrack, incredible music was describing this journey, as the camera hove into the sight of a blonde helmeted warrior, who seemed to be both frenzied and completely calm. The music was from the West German group Popol Vuh. The half-mad conquistador I recognized slightly from his small roles in many spaghetti Westerns, especially For A Few Dollars More. It was Klaus Kinski. Later, I looked up the director who visualized this and other dream-like scenes in the film --- the German, Werner Herzog.email: David@thosewonderfulpeople.comWebsite and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

Today's episode is a celebration of the joy we find in Fitzcarraldo Editions, an independent publishing house that makes no concessions towards mass appeal but instead offers up books that are consistently ambitious, imaginative and innovative. Their hallmark is their plain typographic covers that allow the words inside to speak for themselves. The editorial line maintained by publisher Jacques Testard since the beginning has reaped rewards and he now publishes four Nobel Prizewinning authors as well as Booker international and Pulitzer prize winners and shortlistees. Not bad for a small publishing house that was started in 2014 on a tiny budget with just one employee, Jacques himself. Listen in to hear the story of Fitzcarraldo - named after a film that celebrates a seemingly impossible endeavour - and how in only his second-ever Frankfurt book fair Jacques found himself negotiating a 12-way bidding war for the English-language rights to Secondhand Time by Nobel winner Sveltlana Alexievich. And, because it's us, you'll also get to hear about the books. What are our favourites? Which do we recommend? Why are so many of them sad? We're joined by Sam MacAuslan, keen Fitzcarraldo reader, to uncover some gems from the list. Like all good things, this episode has been a while in the making but with Fitzcarraldo recently celebrating publishing their 100th book it seemed the perfect time to release it out into the world, we hope you enjoy it, and feel inspired to try a Fitzcarraldo or two.

Sarah is out this week, but Gabriel and Zach are joined by writer, director, and filmmaker Maegan Houang for two bad ideas involving peanuts and intelligence tests! In our first bad idea, Gabriel brings the story of a man who dutifully pushed a peanut up a mountain to break a world record. The gang turns it into a Rat Race-style eccentric millionaire-driven comedy of errors. Then, Zach presents a slippery tale of a man who was turned away from a job as a police officer because... he scored too highly on an intelligence test. Everyone struggles with how to turn that into a forward-facing story with anything approaching sympathetic characters. Then, we get to talk to Maegan about her career, visualizing songs for music videos, and dealing with the challenges of morale on film sets. All of that, plus: reboots of Fitzcarraldo, family feuds, structural wrappers, sci-fi societies, prescient questions, and Jurassic Park for Psychopaths.
