Illustrated. Fine in Very Good jacket. Narrow 12mo. Skellig, 1976. Narrow 12mo. 202 pp. Heart of Glass (German: Herz aus Glas) is a 1976 German film directed and produced by Werner Herzog, set in 18th century Bavaria. The film was written by Herzog, based partly on a story by Herbert Achternbusch. The main character is Hias, based on the legendary Bavarian prophet Mühlhiasl. During shooting, almost all of the actors performed while under hypnosis. Every actor in every scene was hypnotized, with the exception of the character Hias and the professional glassblowers who appear in the film. The hypnotized actors give very strange performances, which Herzog intended to suggest the trance-like state of the townspeople in the story. Herzog provided the actors with most of their dialogue, memorised during hypnosis. However, many of the hypnotised actors' gestures and movements occurred spontaneously during filming. [1] The majority of the film was shot in Bavaria, just a few miles from where Herzog was raised in the remote village of Sachrang (nestled in the Chiemgau Alps), and also at a nearby village in Switzerland. Other brief shots of landscape scenes were filmed in various locations around the world that Herzog scouted out, including Yellowstone National Park. The conclusion of the film was shot on the Skellig Islands. Dust jacket has light wear to extremities and shallow separation of clear coating. Fine in very good dust jacket, protected with a mylar cover.

Seller's Description:
Fine; Collectible. PLUS----there are L-O-A-D-S of photos! ! A small village is renowned for its "Ruby Glass" glass blowing works. When the foreman of the works dies suddenly without revealing the secret of the Ruby Glass, the town slides into a deep depression, and the owner of the glassworks becomes obssessed with the lost secret. Alan Greenberg (born October 14, 1950) is an American film director, screenwriter, photographer, author and poet. Greenberg visited Jamaica from a young age, and was a friend of Bob Marley. Following Marley's death, Marley's family asked Greenberg to make a film about Marley. In 1981, Greenberg filmed Land of Look Behind (1982), a documentary film that includes footage of Marley's funeral as well as scenes filmed in Jamaica's remote Cockpit Country and the capital city of Kingston. The film ended up being more of a visionary portrait of the Jamaica of that period (focusing on the Rastafari movement and reggae culture) than a film primarily about Marley. The film has won considerable critical acclaim, as well as winning the Gold Hugo Award for Best Documentary in the Chicago International Film Festival, the U.S. 's largest film competition. Land of Look Behind has also been honored as the best American documentary film of the past 25 years, and the legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog says "'Land of Look Behind' has achieved things never seen before in the history of cinema." Greenberg has worked closely with Werner Herzog on many projects. He served as a special unit photographer on the films Mandingo (1975) and 1900, by Bernardo Bertolucci (1976). He has also written twenty screenplays and three books. His book Heart of Glass, about the making of the 1976 Werner Herzog masterwork of the same name, was called "The best book on the making of a film ever written" by Rolling Stone magazine. In 2010 Herzog will direct a film based on Greenberg's screenplay "The Cheese and the Worms". This is the hardcover SIGNED AND INSCRIBED only stated Skellig Edition from 1976.
