OBS! Import. Kontrollera att språk och textning passar dig.Three-part drama from film-maker Miguel Gomes in which he reinvents the 'One Thousand and One Nights' stories and sets them in modern-day Portugal. In 'Volume 1 - The Restless One', playing himself, Gomes is wrought with anguish at the destruction of Portuguese industry as a result of economic sanctions and austerity in 2013. His wife, the Arabian Queen Scheherazade (Crista Alfaiate), tries to comfort him and save herself by telling him a new story each night. The stories span from the absurd and satirical to tales of Chinese emperors and a naysaying cockerel. 'Volume 2 - The Desolate One' focuses on the mental and societal impact of Portugal's austerity. As Scheherazade continues to tell her stories each night to save her own life, the plots exemplify the social and political upheaval in the country and include a wanted murderer (Chico Chapas) who becomes a hero for rallying against an incompetent local government, a judge (Luísa Cruz) who abandons justice in a peculiar case over which she is presiding, and a dog named Dixie who is moved from home to home in a housing estate deeply affected by austerity. 'Volume 3 - The Enchanted One' focuses on the pressure on storyteller Scheherazade over the course of a week. A meeting with her father, the Grand Vizier (Américo Silva), inspires her to begin her final tale about a group of men who train finches to sing.Typ: DVD

Arabian Nights of 1934
A genre-bending novel of 1001 nights of no-holds-barred, pre-code American movies distilled into a single fevered dreamworld. Arabian Nights of 1934 is a journey through the fevered dreamworld embodied in American movies of the early 1930s: an era that closed abruptly with the enforcement of the Production Code in July 1934. It distills a thousand and one nights of Depression-era movie-going--plotlines, closeups, cityscapes, wisecracks, backchat, and frantic outbursts--into a haunting parallel life, the stories bleeding into one another as they did in the minds of the viewers whom they helped sustain. Two of those viewers, it so happens, are O'Brien's own parents in their restless youth--one impatient to experience the world beyond the screen, one ready to take it on--and the glimpse we're afforded into the darkened theaters of their minds frames the book with an act of imagination at once tender and audacious.
