It does magic a magician immediately its figures on the white linen ...

With dream like pretty pictures and in of (( 1001 )) nights, the oriental fairy tale narrator Nacer Khemir swears to the prime of the andalusia Arabic high culture.At the world-famous medieval book ( The Necklace the Deaf - of the Dear and the Loving )... remembering, describes would love the tunisian facets of rich in contrast that, for which alone the Arabic language knows sixty concepts.At the same time the story of Hassan that at a master calligraphy learns creates, the frame for pliant connected episode.End them the magic ban of the princess of Samarkand crystallizes singed carries itself out, whose picture Hassan on one book side with itself. The film takes us with into a time, in which spirits and visions were yet real. In its world, we discover the peaceful living together of different culture, religions and life form.How its books also Khemir's films traces of the life follow just as traces of the imagination are awake, how it out of the life. It does magic a magician immediately its figures on the white linen, lets change it it through a room, that seems of the time lost.at last I can breviating that review in three words ... (( an Arabian Cinematic Masterpiece ! ))

It's Magic: The 2nd Part of Nacer Khemir's Desert Trilogy...

The films of writer, poet & filmmaker Khemir all stand on their own, but his personal signature is easily traceable in his 'The Dove's Lost Necklace', his second film after the sensational 'Wanderers Of The Desert'.Things are quite different too between the two films; where there was magic in the realism of 'Wanderers...', there is some mundane stuff in the magic of 'The Dove...'. Which is a big difference.A lush and beautiful film, 'The Dove...' is very entertaining, indeed as if experiencing an unknown chapter of the 'Arabian Nights'. Even the desert in 'The Dove...' seems to be cleaned up. The film is smooth and polished as a fairy tale, and this is a pity when judged against 'Wanderers...', where every detail of the film rings out as true and real, which envelops the make-believe within the story to make it all seem very possible.'The Dove...' is beautiful and worthy of your time and attention, where 'Wanderers...' is a breathtaking experience.It does make one yearn to see the last of Khemir's Desert Trilogy -Bab'Aziz- which promises to use yet another way of storytelling.Nacer Khemir is a gifted filmmaker, and a superb storyteller. I for one would love to read his books and poems, as well as watching many more films from his hand !!
