As Mil e Uma Noites: Volume 1, O Inquieto
- Drama
Every night, in danger of being beheaded, Scheherazade tells King Shahryar unfinished tales to continue them the following night, hence defying his promise of murdering his new wives after their wedding night. Scheherazade tells King Shahryar her stories but these are not those in the book. As in the book, these stories are tragic and comical, with rich and poor, powerless and powerful people, filled with surprising and extraordinary events.
Arabian Nights: Volume 1, The Restless One is a 2015 drama film that reimagines the classic Scheherazade tale, following the legendary storyteller as she uses nightly tales to save her own life. Director Miguel Gomes crafts a tragic-comic exploration of power, mortality, and narrative itself through interconnected stories of rich and poor, powerful and powerless characters. The film is now available to watch.
