Bab'Aziz: The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul
Directed by Nacer Khemir. In this visually stunning fable full of exotic songs and dances, a blind old Arab man and his young granddaughter venture across the barren desert to a reunion of dervishes held every 30 years. Along the way, the elder entertains his young companion with the story of a narcissistic prince who loses his kingdom while contemplating his reflection in water. “An Arabian dream that weaves timeless story threads with mystical and Sufi elements into a beautiful film object.” –Variety. Clevelandpremiere. (Switzerland/Hungary/France/Germany/Iran/Tunisia/Britain, 2005, color, subtitles, 35mm, 96 min.)
