"Damn Those Lovely Men"

"1001 Nights" - a documentary by Fateme Gosheh and Isa Vandi

Can love survive conventions, structures and partnership? Is love worth choosing over your personal beliefs? Fateme Gosheh is an Iranian born artist and film maker living in Sweden. Her provocative works have always centred on women's rights in Islam. So when she suddenly fell in love with a Muslim man, she fell in love with her enemy. During seven years she has filmed their stormy, painful and passionate relationship, through both ups and downs, and the result is the documentary DAMN THOSE LOVELY MEN ("1001 Nights"), directed by Fateme Gosheh together with Isa Vandi and produced by Scorpion Film.

The long dark and cold winters in Sweden will do this to you, especially if you are Iranian :D

Even looking at the clip and from a safe distance sent shivers down my spine!

Faramarz jan: you are so funny ... but so wrong in this case!

I wasn't going to comment on this video, as it reminds me of a certain creature. However, your funny comment has made me worried for your long-term well being.

I am venturing a guess that you have never been married ... but again, I have been wrong before.

Quite contrary to what you mention: THEY start soft and friendly ... but turn warlike and belligerent ... and those are the GOOD ones!

Make no mistake; if you ever come across a character like this "lady" ... run, run for your life! A good friend didn't, and I don't even have the heart anymore to visit him (in his house of an insane asylum).
