Heart of Glass (1976, d. Herzog) Gloriously shot story of a village trying to recreate the ruby glass that was their town’s lifeblood until its maker died, its superstitions and madness and town seer, is also a look at the descent of the human race. Great work from Herzog and his hypnotized cast.

Fake seller alert on Amazon. If anyone sees Webdelico and Amasinbooks selling books on Amazon, watch out. They're a scam/shell company claiming they have my books (and millions of others books) and don't. They never send a book, just get your money and to date have never given out one refund.
