Impressive epic, but far too long...
“Arabian Nights,&#34; a trilogy of tales from director Miguel Gomes, focuses on Portugal’s contemporary economic crisis by using the structure of the ancient collection of Arabic folk tales, in which Scheherazade spins story after story for 1,001 nights to distract her new husband from killing her. The stories in the movie were conceived by Gomes, each with its own visual style, atmosphere, characters, and improvisational touches.<br /><br />Though the three volumes can each stand alone,  Gomes’ intention is to overwhelm us in the same sitting, making its 6 1/2-hour running time exhausting — a cinematic endurance test. The sections are multi-layered, with stories within stories, making the narrative extremely dense and often difficult to follow. The vignettes range from outright funny to surreal to sensual. Director Gomes has a knack for intertwining clever stories within stories, but undermines himself with the film’s excessive length.<br /><br />In the first volume, “The Restless One,” Scheherazade tells of the restlessness that befell a country where people dream of mermaids and whales and unemployment is spreading. In “The Desolate One,” Scheherazade relates how desolation invaded man through her tales of a distressed judge who cries, a runaway murderer who wanders through the land, and the residents of a suburban tower block who are charmed by a friendly dog while surrounded by ghosts. In “The Enchanted One,”  Scheherazade doubts that she can continue to tell stories that will please the king, so she escapes from the palace and travels the kingdom in search of pleasure and enchantment.<br /><br />Bonus features on the 3-disc Blu-ray release include a booklet with production diary and critical essay; a conversation with Miguel Gomes from the New York Film Festival; and “Redemption,” a short film by Miguel Gomes.
