Sinekatalog’s take
Pier Paolo Pasolini's last Trilogy of Life film strings erotic tales from the Thousand and One Nights into a sensual, sunlit tapestry. Earthy, lyrical and beautifully shot in Yemen and Iran, it is a sprawling, joyous work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
