I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all...
The glass blowing scene presumably an exception for safety reasons. While not too different from what you might see in a sales pitch on Murano, in the context of the film it captures and holds the viewer's attention with its direct capture of action and expertise.

Famously, the performances were given under hypnosis, which aligns with the numbed reactions in the face of unexplainable catastrophe.

Some of the footage of the natural world feels like it could come from Middle Earth. Primarily shot in Bavaria and Switzerland, but with additional shots taken in Yellowstone, the Viamala canyon, and Skellig Islands.

I wish I had watched it earlier, absolutely fascinating. While the tone here is more fable than allegory, the complete social breakdown in the collapse of an all encompassing combined culture and industry feels relevant.

I picked up the Herzog collection a while back but prioritized his most famous films in initialy viewing. Now will occasionally grab it off the shelf on occasion to fill in the gaps in my viewing. A colleague's comment prompted me to finally take a look at 1976's 'Heart of Glass'.

Love Is The Devil is quite good, I think, need to rewatch. The blurred photography, the Soho bar scenes, and of course Potemkin!

I found everything about 'The Shrouds' engrossing. The pace, characters, mystery, and elements of perversion all felt familiar and modern to me

It immediately reminded me of the Hobbit cover as well. That used one of Tolkien's own illustrations, so almost certainly a bit of "influence" as opposed to a shared artist.

The credits sequence with dolls by Saskia de Boer may be the most striking thing about the film to my eyes! The handcrafted uncanny valley seems just right for the narrative.

It's still a very watchable adaption, having a particular time and geography (sexual liberation-era London) bound sense of humor to it. Claire Bloom was the highlight for me amongst the cast.

Caught up with 'A Severed Head', 1971. It's been a while since I read the Iris Murdoch novel, but the film to my recollection follows the plot very closely.
