The cardboard animated version of the Werner Herzog film about the dream of building an opera house in the Peruvian jungle with money from rubber trees only accessible by portaging a 320-ton steamship between two rivers. By going over a mountain. Without modern equipment.
AND the cardboard animated version of the documentary by filmmaker Les Blank (who just died in April) about the making of the film about the dream of building an opera house in the Peruvian jungle... etc. etc.
Little cardboard Werner's misery becomes even more poetic so many layers removed from the original experience thirty years ago. "Even the stars up here in the sky look like a
mess...the birds are in misery. They don't sing, they just screech in pain..."
