 V2_: Fata Morgana (1971)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

As is the case for many of Herzog"s films, he paid a high price in physical pain to shoot this one; he was arrested and tortured by an African government in the mistaken belief that he was a mercenary soldier.

Fata Morgana is a true jiurney to the desert's sands and still more.
The entire movie has a strange, detached tone; we see horrendous destruction, rooms full of torture equipment, and victims of brutality, but there are no cinematic clues about how the 'aliens' who supposedly made this movie feel about these things; their attitude is implied rather than stated.
Fata Morgana is so hypnotic that it has the ability to make you feel as though your spirit has left your body.

 Lessons of Darkness/Fata Morgana Movie: Lessons of Darkness/Fata Morgana DVD is available from Bestprices.com
A collection of two documentaries by Werner Herzog, FATA MORGANA (1971) and LESSONS OF DARKNESS (1992), this program illustrates Herzog's sustained vision, one where nature and man are continually at war with one another.
FATA MORGANA, shot in the Sahara desert, is a mostly silent film, accompanied only by the reading of the Popul Vuh, a Mayan creation myth, and the songs of Leonard Cohen.
Poetic, beautiful, and often humorous, Herzog's images twist and turn in the mind, forcing the viewer to step outside themselves and look at the world as a combination and clash between the natural and the man made.

The second I read this phrase, I was struck with an incredibly heavy feeling of reminiscance, as if Fata Morgana were a significant figure from my past.

 Lessons of Darkness (1992)
Though made 20 years earlier, Fata Morgana shares many of the same qualities as the later film, and it was a smart move to pair the two on DVD.
Separately, Lessons of Darkness and Fata Morgana are wonderful examples of Herzog's talent for putting things that have never been seen on-screen.
Accompanying Herzog on the Fata Morgana audio track are Norman Hill and actor Crispin Glover.

Another thing I noticed tonight, which has nothing to do with CB but is neato nonetheless, was the commercial for the Escaflowne movie.
Now, I'm not a huge fan of the movie (great visuals, poor plot), but I am a great fan of the Esca TV series.
The nifty thing about the commercial was that a song was used which was not on the movie soundtrack, but was on the TV series soundtrack.

Africa is always the star of African films made by Westerners, whether the movie is a lofty obscurity ("Fata Morgana"), a popular romance ("The African Queen"), macho horseplay ("Hatari!"), impassioned tourism ("I Dreamed of Africa"), literary embellishment ("Out of Africa") or such a humane drama as the German and now Oscar-winning "Nowhere in Africa."
If not a major artist on purely aesthetic grounds, she is something valuable and underrepresented in movies today: a totally engaged, decent and sophisticated talent.
This very fine movie is neither tourism nor special pleading, and its emotions are impeccably developed.

 Fata Morgana Film Review - Time Out Film
Herzog's completely non-narrative movie is cast in the mock-heroic form of an epic poem, each of its chapter headings ('Creation', 'Paradise', 'The Golden Age') being more ironic than the one before.
Shot in and around the Sahara, its images evoke the idea of the desert as a terminal beach, littered with colonial debris, spanning extremes of poverty and misery, peopled with the dispossessed and the eccentric, haunted by mirages.
It's the nearest thing yet to a genuine political science-fiction movie.

Fata Morgana's two engineer-protagonists find themselves, naturally, shipwrecked on this strange island, a curious civilization of some 12,000 people largely cut off from present-day earth.
The idea behind the Fata Morgana is that two engineers on an extended yacht trip have an accident in the Atlanic Ocean and run aground on the fabled Western Isles.
Well these are the Western Isles of yore, that apparently were really a massive chunk of tenuously anchored lava off of the coast of France until the year 1099 when it broke loose and floated free in the world's oceans.

Fata Morgana means 'mirages' and the shimmering reflections of things which aren't really there are apparent throughout: an echo, perhaps, of the Veil of Maya, which in Eastern thought maintains the true nature of reality is beyond perception.
Stoners in the early 1970s claimed the film for themselves as a free-form head trip, but for Herzog it represents a sketchpad in which he jots down images and themes that would be revisited, in a more conventional manner, in his later work.
A beautifully shot, haunting travelogue infused with a fascinating blend of mysticism and fl wit.

"I haven't chosen a character, I've chosen a movie," says Italian actress Laura Morante about her participation in Vicente Aranda's new film.
She wants to enjoy life in its widest expression, and looks for clarity through sex, to be herself and for others to see her as she is. That's why I feel sympathy for her."
La mirada del otro is Aranda's 18th film, since making his debut in 1964 with the social realism of Brillante porvenir and the subsequent Fata Morgana.
