[Thor Joachim Haga]

Sweet drama film, the feature debut of trailblazer Haifaa al-Mansour, the female South Arabian filmmaker who would later direct MARY SHELLEY (with a gorgeous Amelia Warner score). Richter taps into Arabic sensibilities, obviously, and some electronics as well, inbetween his usual PMR. I’ve always been a sucker for these east-west blends.
