Fata Morgana (1971)

Abstract and experimental, Herzog has once again visited a cinematic and geographical territory that no one else would dare treat upon. In essence, this is a film-poem created from footage filmed around the Sahara desert, with the after thought of ‘aliens’ visiting the planet and trying to understand Earth through the sparsity of Saharan life. The result is dreamlike and alienating, yet extremely intriguing and unique.
