Lessons of Darkness

🎭 Genres:War, Documentary

⭐️ Actors:Werner Herzog

🌍 Country:France

📅 Year:1992

🎬 Director:Werner Herzog

📝 Description:Shot in documentary style from the perspective of an almost alien observer, the film is an exploration of the ravaged oil fields of post-Gulf War Kuwait. An effective companion to his earlier film Fata Morgana, Herzog again perceives the desert as a landscape with its own voice, as he glides over seas of oil, geyser-like infernos, monstrous smoke plumes and ashen roadways. With musical accompaniment by Wagner, Prokofiev and Pärt to boot, he observes the soot-covered creatures allured by the blaze.
