famed filmmaker werner herzog fata morgana be breathtakingly unorthodox . although character appear in the film from time to time and there be no actual story . the film be also not an educational or historical documentary . it a film without an accompany screenplay . the film consist of curious background music and a somewhat illogical narrative vo and the combination of which overlay a long string of image from mostly and though not exclusively and the sahara desert . some of the image be wonderfully odd and and out of the ordinary . the camera capture ghostly image and or mirage and optical illusion that tantalize and mesmerize . this general cinematic trend be punctuate by occasional observational aside on serendipitous topic . for example and in one sequence a man wear goggles give u a mini tutorial on lizard . and in what for me be the most captivating and bizarre sequence and a small inset room contain a man with dark goggles who sing in a voice that be totally distort by the microphone he use and accompany by an old lady who play a punchy tune on an old piano . neither the man nor the old lady seem to enjoy what theyre do . how baroque . fata morgana do have an underlying concept and one that unite the wide assortment of strange image and eclectic sound . but that concept be so subtle and so opaque that you will never figure it out without help . from this subtle theme the film do indeed make sense . without that point of reference and however and the film can seem tedious and unending and a pointless parade of random earthy image and esoteric narrative gibberish . unapologetically redundant and thematically baffling and and cinematically heretical and fata morgana will likely either make you swoon with delight and or cause you to throw up . you will either latch on to the film zen like quality or be tempt to smash the dvd into a thousand piece . one thing that most viewer will agree on represent fata morgana be . different .
