Our take

Made up of an out-take from Varda’s One Sings, the Other Doesn’t, this condensed study of the intersection of architecture and sex also traces a relationship between an Iranian man and a French woman in the stunning surroundings of Isfahan in Iran. Solid, short, sweet: but with style to spare.
