Fata Morgana is a compelling, beautiful and baffling film, blurring the line between fiction and fact in a manner which became characteristic of its director Werner Herzog. It’s a documentary of sorts about the Sahara desert and its mirages, as well as the people who live in the area.

The film is divided into three parts. The first, “Creation”, is a series of lengthy shots of the desert accompanied by a sporadic commentary spoken by Lotte Eisner and taken from the Mayan creation myth the Popol Vuh. The second part, “Paradise”, is about the community of people living in the middle of the desert with an ironic narration from Herzog and occasional diversions into natural history – much emphasis is placed on the survival capacity of a lizard. The final part, “The Golden Age”, begins very bizarrely with a middle-aged couple playing piano and drums and what appears to be a kazoo. It then goes on to consider the turtle and finishes with an examination of what has happened to the planet.
