Movie Haiku:Herzog interviews death row inmate Michael Perry-a reckless & very young man responsible for multiple Texas murders. He also meets with family members of the victims (who appear in archival footage). Rich admires Herzog''''s ability to capture the psychic reality of people in extreme situations, whereas Jan felt crushed by Herzog''''s cinematic technique.
