Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A virtuoso English flautist (Firth) is lured to Turkey to confront a seductive djinn and a naked devil in order to learn the secret of his father's death. The story, which starts quite sensibly in the Wigmore Hall, London, becomes increasingly cocooned in impenetrable mysticism. Strikingly weird mountain locations of jagged caves and calcified rock pools, but the whole concoction's decidedly rum.Author: JPy
