An unflinching, cinema verité style look at mental illness buttressed by two towering performances from Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk. Rowlands is a force of nature, delivering the best portrayal of mental illness ever committed to film, conveying entire worlds of emotion with her expression.

Herzog takes the idea of water mirages created by the sun over hot surfaces such as the desert (or a plane runway), and relates it to the primeval water of Creation and the idea of our world as a mirage skating over it, overlaying a poetic cosmology over images of people living in the desert.

Still as good and relevant as it was in 2007. A thriller in the vein of 1970s "paranoid" cinema with super high personal stakes and the right touch of unearthliness to tilt everything just so.

A classic, 80s pump-your-fist soundtrack and a great score from Tangerine Dream [..] A film from when American popular movies featured working class characters with working class issues.

It is the end of the 1990s. The American Colossus stands astride the world, its sinews rippling with pure bluster and condescension. Like an erstwhile Columbus, he passes cheap goods to the local urchins. His name is Chuck.
