Featured review
This has the scope of a miniature David Lean film. Tons of extras, big scenes, sets, a comfy mideast setting, and filmmaking resourcefulness to create a scope. F. Murray Abraham in the turban elevates the entire production. At least it's a film, you know, real sets, real people, this is a refreshing thing when CGI and digital has destroyed the soul of cinema. It's your responsibility to build your own canon and discover hidden treasures away from the CGI apocalypse we're imprisoned in. I love finding undiscovered films like this.
