Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe music played during the presentation scene of Zohra Ben Brahim is a fragment of the "Épigraphes antiques," a piano (four hands) piece reworking of the "Chansons de Bilitis" (1900/1901), that Claude Debussy wrote for a chamber ensemble to accompany the recitation of the Zohra-inspired poems by Pierre Louÿs in 1900/1901. These pieces were composed, in any case, a few years after the scene depicted, but the connection is totally adequate.
- Quotes

Featured review
with indulgence, a decent try
The basic feeling is about a form of improvisation. Few erotic photographs and a story who use every cliche about French fin de siecle. Two friends and their love for the same woman. The option of her father for marriage and her option for a long, hot , sensual adventure. The new detail complicated all and a drop of exotism. Nice photography and a lot of nudes. And a conventional end. Sure, obvious good intentions. But, after its end, the story seems more than thin, the characters - just sketches and the purpoise - to create an erotic film, using different pretextes. And, after all, the sin remains the less courage of director to give a coherent and fair story and not a sort of cinematographic experiment. So, in large lines, a decent try.
