Review of Fata Morgana (1972) by John T — 16 Jul 2008
For the most part Fata Morgana (German for Mirage) is just shots of the Sahara accompanied by narration, this is essentially the first part (titled Creation) in a nutshell. The following two (Paradise and Golden Age) we start to see deeper breathes of civilization making the film slowly become to resemble a documentary.
Fata opens with countless shots of a plane landing which we must see at least 10-15 times, from there you know what you're going to get. The film is unconventional through and through but looks undeniably stunning.
The music is fantastic as well.
