fata morgana be and by far and one of the weird and most perplexing art film i have ever see . i hesitate to call it a documentary because and while be do have element of documentation of it image and the image themselves be so unusual and so hallucinogenic and so unclear and that i wonder whether it be really worth tell this story just so that these image can exist . the film basically be the tale of the earth and the creation of the earth shot from the perspective of an outsider and be it alien or something otherwise indescribable and all take place in the sahara desert . the title of the picture relate to the illusion or reflection of image and both real and hallucinate and that people in the desert often witness . these be also know a mirage . the film open with a plane landing follow by the plane landing again and then again and again and again and again and again and again . with each plane land shot and the actual architecture of both the location it be land at and the plane itself begin to slowly dissolve into one another and grow less and less real and more and more reflective imagery . the imagery in this film only grow more intense and more unusual a the picture continue . the narration of the film tell of the creation of the universe a alarm sexual image of sand and landscape move past the camera . the shot go far and far into the desert and herzog film whatever he see and find . the strange reflection of the world be on display in the distance while herzog meet some of the most pure and photogenic collection of outsider that you be ever likely to see . when the leonard cohen soundtrack kick in and you can be sure that you be in the world of a mad man who be in love with the universe . i can not say too much more about this film without ruin anything and but i will say that it be a sobering experience and there really nothing like it . i love see film that be just in class of their own . this film certainly be a good example of how herzog love to intermingle narrative storytelling and documentary film make into an interchangeable form . fata morgana unfortunately do overstay it welcome just a bit and but by the time it near it end the image will most likely be burn into your mind forever . definitely a must see for those who be obsess with the nature and the origin of the universe .
