Podcasts about Fitzcarraldo

This week,  an encore of our 2023 conversation with 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 October 21, 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.

Alla luce di ciò che accade intorno a noi, in un mondo che sembra accelerare verso un cambiamento profondo e radicale di ciò che conoscevamo – e spesso davamo per scontato – un cambiamento che investe ogni ambito, dalla geopolitica alla sessualità, dalla religione al linguaggio, Radici inaugura la 3. edizione.  Il festival è un progetto della Fondazione Circolo dei lettori a cura di Giuseppe Culicchia con il contributo della Regione Piemonte-Assessorato Regionale all'Emigrazione; Radici è in programma da questo giovedì fino a domenica, 13-16 novembre, tra il Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici e il Cinema Romano. Dopo il successo delle precedenti edizioni, il programma propone una nuova serie di incontri, lezioni e spettacoli che affrontano il tema dell'identità — individuale e collettiva — e della memoria, in un contesto sociale sempre più complesso. Attraverso grandi voci e opere, Radici indaga come i cambiamenti culturali abbiano trasformato la nostra percezione del sé, invitando a riflettere sulla consapevolezza della propria individualità e del mondo.  Il programma, da giovedì 13 a domenica 16 novembre Radici prende il via al Circolo  dei lettori e delle lettrici giovedì 13 novembre con l'incontro I Musei regionali dell'Emigrazione piemontese: Frossasco e Santa Maria Maggiore (h 16), con Piemontesi nel Mondo, Ugo Bertello, Davide Rosso, Claudio Cottini, Rosanna Napoli, Chiara Monferrini, Joaquin Coniglio e Alfons J.

Werner Herzog ist einer der einflussreichsten Filmemacher unserer Zeit – bekannt für seinen kompromisslosen Stil, seine ikonischen Dokumentationen und Spielfilme und für eine künstlerische Vision, die ihn immer wieder an die äußersten Ränder der Welt geführt hat. In dieser Folge des Weltwach Podcasts spricht der Regisseur von Klassikern wie „Fitzcarraldo“, „Aguirre – der Zorn Gottes“ und „Grizzly Man“ über das Abenteuer des Filmemachens, die Kraft von Visionen – und über ein Leben, das selbst zum Stoff für große Erzählungen taugt.Herzog berichtet von Dreharbeiten am Limit: über Stürme in Patagonien, Beinahe-Katastrophen im Dschungel und über eine Szene, die Filmgeschichte schrieb – als er ein echtes Dampfschiff über einen Berg im Amazonas ziehen ließ. Es geht um seine Prinzipien beim Arbeiten, seine Skepsis gegenüber Spezialeffekten, seine Liebe zur Prosa – und um die Frage, was bleibt, wenn alles andere vergeht.Außerdem erzählt er von seiner Zusammenarbeit mit Bergsteigern wie Stefan Glowacz – und von einer denkwürdigen Begegnung mit dem japanischen Soldaten Hiroo Onoda, der fast 30 Jahre nach Kriegsende in einem philippinischen Dschungel ausharrte, im festen Glauben, der Zweite Weltkrieg sei noch nicht vorbei.

Big yet somewhat vague news on Misfits. Watch out for the nasal sprays! Instead of doing something fulfilling on Halloween like "taking my children trick or treating," or perusing LA Halloween whores, I went home and watched GI Joe: The Movie (from 1987) Subway got rid of their flatbread for breakfast sandwiches, because of course they did.  I went to see a myriad of old movies around town in the fortnight since we last spoke: Bullitt, Fitzcarraldo, and Annie Hall (RIP Diane Keaton)I did stand up for the first time in 3 months, and I went to see Michael Knowles speak at the Nixon Presidential Library, but I forgot most of what he said because I was having a full blown panic attack for most of it. (What fun it is to be me)

I'm talking with the essayist Joanna Pocock, and this is some bonus content from our original interview. America is a place that has compelled countless writers to travel its vast and varied landscapes.  Perhaps you've done it yourself. But what happens when you feel compelled to do it all again? That's the question at the heart of Joanna Pocock's essay, Greyhound (Fitzcarraldo Editions). Named after the iconic bus company whose intercity network carries passengers from Detroit to Los Angeles — and which Joanna relies on for her own journey — Greyhound revisits familiar motels, crossings, and bus stations she first encountered years before. Joanna's writing has appeared in the LA Times, Guardian US and the Nation among others. GREYHOUND is her second book, and her first, SURRENDER, won the Fitzcarraldo essay prize.

pWotD Episode 3067: Claudia Cardinale Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 225,773 views on Wednesday, 24 September 2025 our article of the day is Claudia Cardinale.Claude Joséphine Rose "Claudia" Cardinale (Italian: [ˈklaudja kardiˈnaːle]; 15 April 1938 – 23 September 2025) was an Italian actress.Born and raised in La Goulette, a neighbourhood of Tunis, Cardinale won the "Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia" competition in 1957, the prize being a trip to Italy, which quickly led to film contracts, due above all to the involvement of producer Franco Cristaldi, who acted as her mentor for a number of years and later married her. After making her debut in a minor role with Egyptian star Omar Sharif in Goha (1958), Cardinale became one of the best-known actresses in Italy, with roles in films such as Rocco and His Brothers (1960), Girl with a Suitcase (1961), Cartouche (1962), The Leopard (1963) and Federico Fellini's 8½ (1963).From 1963, Cardinale appeared in The Pink Panther opposite David Niven. She went on to appear in the Hollywood films Blindfold (1966), Lost Command (1966), The Professionals (1966), Don't Make Waves (1967) with Tony Curtis, The Hell with Heroes (1968), The Red Tent (1969), A Fine Pair (1968), The Salamander (1981), and the Sergio Leone Western Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), a joint U. S.–Italian production, in which she was praised for her role as a former prostitute opposite Jason Robards, Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda.Jaded with Hollywood and not wanting to become a cliché, Cardinale returned to Italian and French cinema and garnered the David di Donatello for Best Actress award for her roles in The Day of the Owl (1968) and as a prostitute alongside Alberto Sordi in A Girl in Australia (1971). In 1974, Cardinale met director Pasquale Squitieri, who would become her partner and she frequently featured in his films, including Blood Brothers (1974), Father of the Godfathers (1978) and Claretta (1984), the last of which won her the Nastro d'Argento Award for Best Actress. In 1982, she starred in Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo as the love interest of Klaus Kinski, who raises the funds to buy a steamship in Peru. In 2010, Cardinale received the Best Actress Award at the 47th Antalya "Golden Orange" International Film Festival for her performance as an elderly Italian woman who takes in a young Turkish exchange student in Signora Enrica.Outspoken on women's rights causes over the years, Cardinale was a UNESCO goodwill ambassador for the Defence of Women's Rights beginning in March 2000. In February 2011, the Los Angeles Times Magazine named Cardinale among the 50 most beautiful women in film history.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:27 UTC on Thursday, 25 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Claudia Cardinale on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Jasmine.

Claudia Cardinale kam nur widerwillig zum Film. Dann spielte sie in Filmklassikern mit wie "Der Leopard", "Achteinhalb", "Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod" und "Fitzcarraldo". Nun ist die Schauspielerin mit 87 Jahren gestorben. Von Christian Berndt

Fitzcarraldo, Woyzeck, Nosferatu - Werner Herzog ist neben Wim Wenders der international bekannteste deutsche Regisseur. Den deutschen Film hat er entscheidend geprägt, aber bekannt war er hierzulande lange nur für seine skandalträchtige Zusammenarbeit mit Klaus Kinski. Bei den Filmfestspielen in Venedig bekommt Herzog nun den Ehrenlöwen für sein Lebenswerk. Zur Ruhe setzen will sich der 83-jährige aber noch lange nicht. Welche Energie treibt ihn an? Was zeichnet sein Filmschaffen, das über 70 Spiel- und Dokumentarfilme umfasst, aus? Und was macht diesen „alten weißen Mann“, der von einigen als Selbstdarsteller geschmäht wird, gerade für jüngere Leute zu einer Kultfigur? Karsten Umlauf diskutiert mit Dr. Kristina Jaspers – Kuratorin, Deutsche Kinemathek Berlin; Rüdiger Suchsland – Filmkritiker; Prof. Dr. Marcus Stiglegger – Filmwissenschaftler

In his debut collection Strange Beach – the very first title in Fitzcarraldo's new poetry series – poet and choreographer Oluwaseun Olayiwola finds the body to be a porous landscape across which existential dilemmas of gender, sexuality and race are enacted and explored. Poet and novelist Andrew McMillan writes of Olayiwola's work ‘the tideline of the poetic phrase is constantly shifting, is forever rebuilt and remade on the shifting sands of language, every grain of a word held up to the light to consider its myriad refractions.' Olayiwola read from Strange Beach, and was joined in conversation about his work by the poet and critic Camille Ralphs. Find more events at the London Review Bookshop: https://lrb.me/eventspod

She be Fitzing on my Car 'til I Raldo! It's Lukas' birthday choice, and every year he gives us a tall task of some long, foreign, and highly artistic film. The task was nearly as big as pulling a steamboat up a mountain which is what we are talking about this week with the film "Fitzcarraldo". How many injuries/illnesses/deaths happened while filming this movie? What children's story would be a perfect marriage of things for Brandon's daughter? And what cereal and milk does Fitzcarraldo eat for breakfast? Tune in this week to find out all this and more, but only on "The Good, The Bad, & The Movies"!P.S.

Fitzcarraldo (1982) è l'opera simbolo del cinema di Werner Herzog. Un film monumentale, un'avventura irripetibile che trasmetter l'epicità di un'impresa in ogni suo fotogramma.

In this episode, we travel to South America with filmmaker Werner Herzog and documentarian Les Blank in the double feature: Fitzcarraldo (1982) and Burden of Dreams (1982).It's one thing to watch a film where the main character moves a giant ship over a mountain, it's another to watch the documentary revealing the painstaking process of making cinema magic come to life. In a world that seemingly pushes us toward the easy and the comfortable, watching films about making impossible dreams come true unleashes a flood of questions: Where would we be without dreams? Where would we be without dreamers? What role does madness play in the pursuit of our dreams? Can you make art without suffering? How do dreamers evolve as they grow older?Enjoy this conversation with Kelley and I about art, madness, dreams, dreamers, and the cinema of hardship.

In occasione del Leone d'Oro alla Carriera dell'82ª Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica di Venezia, abbiamo deciso di dedicare al regista e sceneggiatore tedesco Werner Herzog uno speciale in 3 puntate incentrate su altrettanti capolavori: Aguirre, furore di Dio, Fitzcarraldo e Grizzly Man.Per dirla con Alberto Barbera, direttore della Mostra, "Werner Herzog percorre incessantemente il pianeta Terra inseguendo immagini mai viste, mettendo alla prova la nostra capacità di guardare, sfidandoci a cogliere ciò che sta al di là dell'apparenza del reale, sondando i limiti della rappresentazione filmica alla ricerca inesausta di una verità superiore, estatica, e di esperienze sensoriali inedite. [… ] Geniale narratore di storie insolite, Herzog è anche l'ultimo erede della grande tradizione del romanticismo tedesco, un umanista visionario, un perlustratore instancabile votato a un nomadismo perpetuo, alla ricerca (com'ebbe a dire) «di un luogo dignitoso e conveniente per l'uomo, un luogo che è talvolta un Paesaggio dell'Anima»”.

#cine #fitzcarraldo #arte En este episodio especial, celebramos los 100 episodios de análisis cinematográfico discutiendo 'Fitzcarraldo', una obra maestra de Werner Herzog. A lo largo de la conversación, exploramos la obsesión del protagonista por llevar la ópera a la selva amazónica, la relación entre el arte y la economía, y la universalidad del arte en la experiencia humana. También reflexionamos sobre el fracaso como parte integral del proceso artístico y la figura del artista como un portador de verdad en la modernidad.Chapters00:00 Celebrando 100 Episodios de Cine03:02 Fitzcarraldo: Un Clásico del Cine06:07 La Obsesión de Fitzcarraldo09:12 El Arte y su Autonomía12:06 Universalidad del Arte15:08 La Relación entre Indígenas y Arte17:53 El Fracaso como Parte del Arte20:45 La Potencia del Arte en la Experiencia Humana24:04 El Artista como Portador de Verdad27:08 Reflexiones Finales sobre Fitzcarraldo

It's hard to believe that Fitzcarraldo Editions has only existed for ten years; during that short time, they have published a remarkable selection of books (gathering four Nobel Prizes between them), and their iconic blue and white covers have become a mainstay of the bookshop. To celebrate their first decade, Fitzcarraldo are publishing some of their best-loved titles in hardback, limited edition form. Brian Dillon and Kate Briggs will be at the shop to discuss their books in this series: Dillon's Essayism (a gathering together of his loose trilogy on the intimate and abstract pleasures of reading and looking), and Briggs' This Little Art, a fresh, fierce and timely meditation on literary translation. The conversation will be chaired by Helen Charman, whose political history of motherhood, Mother State, came out earlier this year from Penguin.

We mark Bastille Day with a dive into President Macron's cultural policy for France. And we revisit the dark heart of filmmaking with two people who were there during the making of Apocalypse Now and Fitzcarraldo. Documentaries made about both films have been re-released - Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmakers Apocalypse, about Apocalypse Now is in cinemas, and Burden of Dreams about Fitzcarraldo is streaming.

Claire and Gavia dig into the chaotic production process and artistic accomplishments of Werner Herzog's acclaimed 1982 historical drama Fitzcarraldo, accompanied by its fascinating making-of documentary Burden of Dreams. Set in turn-of-the-century Peru, Fitzcarraldo explores an ill-advised river voyage by an Irish businessman (Klaus Kinski), who seeks to build an opera house in the Amazon basin. Behind the scenes, life imitated art as Herzog's film shoot dragged on for years, endangering the lives of cast and crew, and raising questions about the ethics of asking others to suffer for your art.

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.

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?

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.

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, 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.

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.”

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.
