# Lessons of Darkness (1992)

1992 · 50 min · Documentary · France, Germany, United Kingdom

Original title: Lektionen in Finsternis

## Synopsis

Lessons of Darkness is a 1992 documentary film directed by Werner Herzog. The film is an exploration of the ravaged oil fields of post-Gulf War Kuwait, portrayed in a manner that accentuates the catastrophic and surreal nature of the landscape. An effective companion to Herzog's earlier film Fata Morgana, the film again perceives the desert as a landscape with its voice.
