Oh Oil...

Lessons of Darkness(dir. Werner Herzog)
Some of the most beautiful images I've ever seen. I didn't know it was possible to make fire, oil, and sand look so good. This film is like poetry for the eyes. The music of the film is very beautiful. Herzog's narration is unsettling and quite relaxing. The interviews were depressing, but opens your mind about how soldiers treat civilians in wars. The most haunting scene is when the workers blow up the oil well and it starts raining oil. That was insane. This movie is amazing. This is his best movie I've seen so far.
**** out of ****
