not this one, but the short film compilation is international. if i told you the nationality, you would know it, instantly.

That's because United Arab Emirates just doesn't produce that many movies.

it is not Paris, je t'aime, but it came out around the same time and was similarly popular. this one only had 3 films in it though. there is an American film, an Italian film, and a film from Hong Kong.

the cinematographer of this particular short film is as good as they come.

I just saw this movie recently for the first time. I really liked it and consider it a great piece of (his/her) art (caveat: I do have an affinity for this director). " " is to say the least, atmospheric cinema . The director is an iconic representative of film making for his/her country. I think if I gave the country of origin, it would narrow it down too much. I'll add another image someone would surely recognize who has seen this film. If it sits around for another day. I'll add another image and another clue.

Without a doubt! Very engrossing film. Extra long but still the kind you are sad to reach the end of.

Burt Lancaster was very good.

Claudia Cardinale was absolutely stunning.

Oddly enough, my favorite version was in Italian, which I don't speak, subtitled in English. If I remember correctly the English dubbed version used Lancaster's actual English dialog but somehow this didn't seem to work out as well as the subtitled version where Lancaster was dubbed into Italian! Quite convoluted.

Yeah, the extended italian version from criterion is the end all from what i've seen (though there was some hub bub about the aspect ration). These captures are from a new Blu-Ray of the film, and are in the proper ration--it looks like a must have. In the frame supplied, you can see another foreigner, Alain Delon (french).
