Curiosités

Anecdotes:
Paul Bowles, author - and thinly disguised subject - of the autobiographical novel on which the film is based, said, "? it should never have been filmed. The ending is idiotic and the rest is pretty bad." This quote comes from a rare interview that was part of the film Let It Come Down: The Life of Paul Bowles (1998). suite
Goofs:
Continuity: There is a moment when Port is with Kit in her room, she is sitting and he is caressing her belly. A good deal of pubic hair is notoriously visible, but immediately follows a closer shot in which she is completely covered. suite
Guillemet:
Tunner: You've been to North Africa before, Port. Kit and I will just follow your plan.
Port Moresby: My only plan is, I have no plan.

it's not about tourists, it's about travellers., 16 March 1999
9/10
Author: siul de sumpaulo, brasil

When you travel as a tourist you have always a place to go back. When you're a traveller, you just go. I love this movie because of the freedom it shows. Every path is possible when you are not going back to anywhere. the movie is a dream with a nightmare inside. It's quite a long movie, although very surprising and beautiful.
