LESSONS OF DARKNESS1992
The film
This film surveys the disaster of the Kuwaiti oil fields in flames, with little narration and scarcely any interviews. Hell on Earth is presented in such transcendent visions and music that one can only be fascinated by it.
This just feels so therapeutic. Classical music playing with Herzog narration. Beautiful landscape shots, and then just burning oil fields and it’s glorious. 54 minutes, on Tubi.
