ACROSS THE ANDES: On Sunday, the Kimbell Art Museum is showing Werner Herzog’s Aguirre: The Wrath of God. The story takes place in Peru and ties in nicely with “Wari: Lords of the Ancient Andes,” an exhibition that runs at the museum through Sept. 8. Not familiar with Aguirre? It’s one of those movies that has a behind-the-scenes story that rivals the one told in the film. The crew had to cross the Peruvian rainforest for the shoot; the movie’s star, Klaus Kinski, came thisclose to killing its director. Good times. To study up for Sunday’s screening, be sure to check out a post on the Lone Star Film Society’s website that details the film’s difficult birth.

A DIRECTOR DISSECTS: For a look at a more contemporary movie, be sure to check out David Lowery’s blog. That’s where the Dallas filmmaker is writing about the making of his Ain’t Them Bodies Saints. The movie is out next month, but some of you in the know may have caught it at a surprise screening during last month’s Oak Cliff Film Festival. In the posts, Lowery writes about specific images captured in the film – a literal frame-by-frame look. And he says it was these individual images that helped him refocus while piecing the movie together. “I would often seize upon frames that reminded me that we’d been after something strong with the movie, that we had intention and point of view,” he writes. “These shots would tip my favor back towards the movie and get everything ship-shape again.”
