Fata Morgana (Peter Schreiner, 2013)

8/10
Not to be confused with the Werner Herzog movie of the same name, although they both take place in the desert in an ambiguous sort of way. Another one where I went in blind, reading only from the description that it was long and slow and in black and white and all that other boring stuff that interests me. It was pretty abstract. I was actually reminded of To the Wonder, but it didn’t irritate me nearly as much as that one did, although it is privy to the same sort of clunky, pseudo-philosophical lines. I really liked the photography, though, and what I got from the movie was a sort of musing on growing old and death and letting go…but I could be way off.
