Diane is a beautiful and sophisticated trainee on the New York Stock Exchange, and Selim is an Arab mogul. Diane is drugged, kidnapped and brought to Selim's scenic fortress hideaway in the North African desert. In an interesting role reversal, Diane has no qualms about bedding down with an attractive man, but Selim's harem is purely decorative and he does not share her cavalier view of sexual relationships. The twist is that in spite of the fact that he has kidnapped the girl, Selim is not really that bad of a person. He feels compelled to uphold a time-honored tradition that he doesn't really believe in anymore and wants to embrace the ways of the Western world.
This film is very beautiful, and Sir Ben Kingsly acts outstandingly. The film is huge in France, and with good reason. It is an intriguing, unique, and magical film. The film is on French TV I hear like every other week, still to this day! PS Don't be thrown off by the title, the film is, in fact, a sincere love story. I think it deserves a re-release in theaters in America. The only critique I have is the orchestrated music, which is a bit melodramatic. But other than that, the cinematography is beautiful, the acting is subtle and brilliant, and the direction is excellent. I suggest to rent it! Voila! I think that it is a breath-taking film.IMDB Reviewer
