Arabian Nights Vol 1: The Restless One (15)

Drama

Some of the chapters from Arabian Nights are adapted to a modern Portugal in this epic.

The critical consensus

Giddy, shape-shifting and eccentric three-parter from Portuguese director Miguel Gomes.

****(*)Allan Hunter, The List, 18/04/2016

Miguel Gomes’s docu-fantasy hybrid is an epic, experimental compendium of stories reflecting on austerity politics and Portugal.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 21/04/2016

Inventive and surprisingly moving.

****(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 18/04/2016

The Thousand and One Nights proves a rich source of inspiration for this heady mix of documentary, magic realism and satire.

****(*)Mark Kermode, The Observer, 24/04/2016
