'The Vigil': To Believe or Not to Believe?
If you mix religious rituals with dark mythology, the result will be effective, and the story powerful in 90% of the cases. That is exactly what happens at the beginning of The Vigil.
Nomads (2005)
This desert epic owes a lot to films like "The Sheik," and "Lawrence of Arabia," both in terms of atmosphere and setting. There's even a bit of "Aladdin" thrown in for good measure, but the genie is nothing like Robin Williams, trust me. The cast has been chosen with a careful eye, and it includes many studs who resemble Arabians, in particular Arpad Miklos, Miguel Leonn, Iván Andros and Antonio Montez. Each scene opens with a grainy texture that suggests old footage, but as soon as the sex starts, the scene turns crystal clear. Videography, by Charles Stevens, is stunning whether the scene takes place indoors or outdoors.
