Hauntingly BeautifulI saw this film last
night in London at the Curzon Bloomsbury (formerly the Renoir)and was
utterly astounded! This is a hauntingly beautiful film shot in a
wide-angled camera in Wadi Ram, Jordan, telling the coming of age story
of a young Bedouin boy Theeb, accompanying his older bother on a
hazardous journey across the dessert, to help a British officer reach a
secret destination. The background to the story is the changing way of
life in the dessert, during the first world war, following the building
of a new railway line that shortened the trip to Mecca from one month on
the back of a camel, to one week by train. The new rail line had a
devastating effect on the lives of the dessert nomads.
The film
is exceptionally beautify, the story is straight forward but gripping,
the acting, mostly by non-professionals, is superb. The bright colour of
the arid dessert is in sharp contrast to our urban living. This is a
striking, memorable film that deserves an Oscar.
