Thông tin về bộ phim này

Arabian Nights is a monumental and dazzlingly original 3-part film by Miguel Gomes (Tabu) that uses the structure of One Thousand and One Nights in order to tell the story of contemporary Portugal. Gomes’ Scheherazade tells fantastic tales both fictional and documentary, from talking roosters to the everyday trials of the unemployed. Gomes weaves a colorful, surreal, and politically potent palimpsest of a film that captures how the great recession has affected both our lives and our dreams. Volume 3: The Enchanted One. In which Scheherazade doubts that she will still be able to tell stories to please the king, so she therefore escapes from the palace and travels the kingdom in search of pleasure and enchantment.
