Lessons of Darkness
1992. Germany/France/Spain. Written, directed, and narrated by Werner Herzog. A lyrical meditation on the ecological and human destruction begat by the Gulf War. Herzog brings an artist’s eye and a philosopher’s sensibility to this previously untold tale of modern horror. Extraordinary helicopter cinematography records a science fiction–like scenario as countless Kuwaiti oil fields blaze out of control and millions of tons of oil pour into the sea 50 min.
