Arabian Nights
USA 2015, 383 minutes
Dir. Miguel Gomes
In Portuguese with English subtitles
Rating: [M] Nudity, offensive language & sexual content.
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama / Fantasy
Feat. Crista Alfaiate
Synopsis: Volume One: The Restless One
Volume Two: The Desolate One
Volume Three: The Enchanted One
“All sorts of nonfiction and fiction stories woven together in a tapestry of frustration, melancholy and burlesque”
Aroview: Wildly original and ambitious triptych of films set in modern-day Portugal but structured on the sprawling Arabic fairy-tale collection One Thousand and One Nights.
Director Gomes (TABU) is one of the most distinctive modern auteurs, and here he applies his eccentric aesthetic to highly topical and weighty themes such as the current economic crisis and Pro-austerity European politics - but never at the expense of some glorious humour.

3 stars (Good Enough) Vols 1 and 2: Are a smorgasbord of stories of varying interest. Vol 3: Of the three collections, this is the easiest to watch and it has one memorable scene. Throughout the soundtrack is also worthy of mention. ~Tubbs
