A long time ago, in a faraway place... beneath the shimmering sun of the hot Sahara was a land of fire and flame... a romantic world of forgotten dreams that harken back to a bygone age where men ruled the desert from horseback and found sexual pleasure in their violent lusts and desires. The powerful drumbeat of the Arabian heart drove men into each other's arms, a co-mingling of sweat and passion that filled deep-rooted needs, resulting from a lonely existence surrounded by sand and palm. This place is the setting for Arabesque.
Directed by Chris Ward, Arabesque leans on a strong ensemble — Colin West, Huessein, Joey Russo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2005.
