The Devil's in the Details: When Obsessive Directors Went Too Far (And Why It Worked)
from Final Cut Confessions · host Podcaster
From Kubrick's 127 takes of a single scene to Werner Herzog literally moving a steamship over a mountain, some directors cross the line from perfectionist to madman. We dig into the most extreme behind-the-scenes obsessions that nearly broke crews, bankrupted studios, and somehow created cinematic magic that couldn't have happened any other way.
