How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Herzog transforms the Kuwait oil fires into a vision of hell on earth, a landscape of biblical destruction where human conflict has literally set the world ablaze. It's less journalism than spiritual reckoning, filmed as if witnessing the end of civilization.
