Lessons of Darkness (1992) presents a stark and mesmerizing portrayal of the devastation wrought upon Kuwait's oil fields during the Gulf War. Unlike traditional documentaries, this film eschews commentary and relies minimally on interviews. Instead, it immerses viewers in a hauntingly beautiful visual and auditory experience, capturing the inferno of the burning oil fields with a surreal and almost poetic aesthetic. The German title, which translates to "lessons in darkness," hints at the film's exploration of the stark contrast between the horrors of war and the captivating beauty of its aftermath.
