Movie Info

The term which has become this film's title, Fata Morgana, refers to mirages, and is an apt title for this storyless, hallucinatory work shot in the deserts of North Africa. It is a rhythmic, musical succession of images and short scenes. One of the images is a pianist and drummer who play tiredly, surrounded by endless tracts of desert. This is an image that has been adapted and re-used in countless music videos and is a small piece of evidence suggesting that this is a very influential film.

Audience Reviews for Fata Morgana

Watched this film then watched it again straight away. I can understand peoples fixation with this film, its dream like qualities are mesmerising but I have to say it?s not my favourite Herzog film. Inspired and an inspiration, this film is a turning point in the history of cinema, I just don't like it as much as Lessons of Darkness, Man with a movie camera (which came before) or Koyaanisquatsi (which came after).

As part of Herzorgs experimental artistic works it's a visual treat. For anybody not interested in suh things it's a bore. The film has endless tracking shots of desolate landscapes accompanied by a bizarre voice over detailing a fantasy world. Some men discuss animals and so forth. Some of the images are very striking and the overall feel is that of a dream, weird pieces strung together and open to interpretation. Alternatively you can brush it off as just darn weird.
