The Arabian Nights is masterpiece – Daily News – Lisbon

We left the creepy room. The film, the reception at the Théâtre Croisette, the room ‘Fortnight, where the world premiere of the first volume of The Arabian Nights , The Restless , took place yesterday . standing applause for several minutes to Miguel Gomes and his extensive team.

A “twilight zone” narrated by Scheherazade princess who tells the king crazy stories of a country in economic crisis for his life.

Political film? It is not well there, despite premiere of order before the parliamentary elections.
