Review of Desert Flower (2009) by David Ray G — 18 Nov 2009
I watched this movie at the 50th International Film Festival of Thessaloniki, where Waris Dirie was present, and at the end of the movie there was a two-minute standing ovation.
Maybe a directing chaos, maybe too ambitious, maybe too distacted, maybe not really a good movie. But, coming to look at it from the side of humanity in all of us, it is a raging masterpiece. The evil, the ignorance, the misfortune in this world is more than one could ever estimate. But so is the kindness, the acceptance, the love. And that is what this movie taught me.
Heart-breaking, endlessly torturous, but liberating and refreshing all the while.
