"Fitzcardboardaldo" will make any Herzog fan's week

This might be best to share without much context. Experimental artist and puppeteer Robin Frohardt recreated Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo in cardboard. We see creative tributes to movies all the time, but the sheer audacity of this project and its unusual choice of subject are laudable. And ironic, given Herzog's tendency to make movies about impossible dreams and struggles against nature.
