| 1001 Nights |
Beautifully dated and hedonistically constructed,
1001 Nights stays true to the sensory backdrop of Scheherazade's tale spinning.
Tezuka remoulds the story into something resembling an escapist fantasy trip, wherein a sixties-era salary man is transported back to an era of entirely fictitious Arabian details.
Seemingly at odds with itself,
1001 Nights combines Playboy graphics, Arabian rug design and traditional Japanese scroll paintings.
Australian premiere!
