| Brief Description: | Director Ferzan Ozpetek (Steam) explores the history of his Turkish culture in the second film in his erotica trilogy. Set in Istanbul in the early 1900's at the end of the Ottoman Empire, Harem is an epic tale of love, power and fear. The story revolves around Safiye, the sultan's favorite concubine and eventual wife, who has an affair with a eunuch, Nadir. When the empire falls and the sultan escapes without his wife, she is left with Nadir to fight under the new order. Ozpetek mixes mythology with sexuality to create a stunning film. Winner of two Italian Golden Globe awards. In Turkish, French and Italian with English subtitles. |
