I saw this film at the Telluride Film Festival and cannot wait to watch it over and over again. It was by far the festival favorite for everyone I talked to (minus a few teenage boys).
Sally Potter does a wonderful job of turning what could be a cliché story about a white woman falling in love with a man from the middle east into a socially, sexually, and emotionally conscious film.
The style itself is truly Potter with breathtaking cinematography that plays color and costume together in a well choreographed filmic space.
The use of verse throughout the film only adds to the plot and the characters' intensity.
All I can say is go see it, you will not be sorry. 10/10
