Description
7 p.m. VOLUME 3: THE ENCHANTED ONE (O ENCANTADO) 125 min.
As Scheherazade’s inspiration at last begins to ebb, the film mutates yet again to describe her own story, an anachronistic romance set in Baghdad but shot in Marseille. Reinvigorated, her final tale tilts towards documentary in its gentle account of a birdsong competition. The finale of Arabian Nights explores and exemplifies the central role of storytelling in our understanding of the world.
