The scenes of the film and their sequencing felt a bit too arbitrary even for my taste. However, it was a fascinating trip just for the sake of marvelling the way Herzog had developed his unique style so early in his career.

Shot in southern Sahara. While off-screen voices tell us ancient myths about Creation and Paradise, we watch images of desolation. We hear a tale about Life and we see skeleton of animals and iron frameworks. Herzog calls FATA MORGANA a sci-fi movie since he explains its plot (!) as the description of a death planet by aliens. It's not at all evident for the viewer. Incantatory, hypnotic, highly recommended. Though.

la primera vez que escuché a leonard cohen, fue con esta movie. además me pareció hipnotizante... y eso que la vi en la casa del lago en chapultepec una noche en que había función de lago de los cisnes, un desastre sobre otro... nada que el desierto africano con música maravillosa no pueda hacerle a uno olvidar. fui con paco + mayahuel, ah, la nostalgia...

From the first shot onward and Eisner's mythical recital it feels like being in a contemplative dream. Or as Herzog puts it: “A documentary shot by extra-terrestrials from Andromeda, and left behind.”
