Yes, of course there are lots of problems with this concept, but like in any crazy story, everything is highly unlikely to happen in our world, and you just have to take it for what it is.

So, when you're ready to accept what you see, the premise of this movie is great. The fact that the whole movie is centered around only one character isn't a mistake, much like in Carlito's Way, this is the story of a man who tries to change, but everything around him makes it impossible to.

The sets and visual are all well made, the acting is near-perfect, and the action scenes... well, let's just say that they are completely nuts, but in the good way. So, don't expect realism in this movie, it's both entertainment and an interesting story, all well done.

To begin with, the plot is absolutely uninteresting. We have a french aviator woman, who comes in the Sahara to search for her missing husband, and an anti-colonialism french soldier who wants to defend the nomadic people.

So what happens in the movie ? Well... they move through a part of the desert, and... that's pretty much it. One or two sub-plots are started, but not finished, the movie wants to focus on its characters, but the total absence of background makes them empty, and we don't care for them a second.

To sum it up : no story, boring characters, uncreative cinematography, and a slow, horrible pace.

This is a piece of the lives of nomadic people that could exist right now, in the vastness of Asia. This movie treats the condition of women in a world where men live one day at a time, most of the time working, or drinking. The main character, Témür, an outsider, falls in love with a married woman, who wants nothing more than leaving this life of submission. It's a break from modern society, you have the feeling of having gone back a few hundred years, they live with the bare minimum, and the landscapes are candy for the eyes through the whole movie. In the end, it was beautiful, I wasn't bored, but I believe the experience wasn't as complete as I expected it to be, it really only is a tiny piece of unusual lives. One of those movie that you don't think, but feel.
