Review of Fata Morgana (1972) by Matt M — 16 Feb 2013
Herzog takes us through the African desert, daring to show the most wonderful images of one of the most dangerous places on earth, filled with the most bizarre of creatures and characters, and filling it with alienated narration of poetry, underlying tones of madness and natural harmony, thus recreating the concept of mirages.
Divided into three essential parts, this film represents Herzog as an experimental and edgy documentarian, in a feast for the eyes kind of work, practicing the most daredevil kinds of cinematography. It's not the easiest of viewing, but it's thought provokingly challenging.
