Oh yes, I did do one other LJ-delighting thing while gone: I saw Pasolini's Arabian Nights. Fuelling my lust for all things desertish. God, what a wonderful film! I'd seen it ages ago and I'm so glad to see it again. It just *glows*. It is lush and luscious, has the most breathtakingly beautiful locations, just heart-wringing, and has the most gorgeous, memorable, wonderful people in it (not even sure they're professional actor - they are beauty without the Hollywood, simply stunning - and they are white, brown, black, all stripes), and just such a wonderful attitude to sex! So carefree and lovely. And men's bottoms all the ways, and yes: full-frontal nudity in men and women, and men's penises, and: men's half-erect penises and women's hands on the men's half-erect penises.

And I love the acting style, too. They recite their lines, quite naively almost, and quite stylisedly. None of that tedious realism and um-er method acting. I love it!
