Passion in the Desert

Newcity Chicago

DIRECTED BY: Lavinia Currier

REVIEWED: 07-13-98

An adaptation of the Balzac novella about a Napoleonic captain lost in the Saharan Desert who becomes kindred spirits with a leopard. There are hints of a compelling movie, particularly in the way the desert is pictured. But the effect is mostly enervating. 93m.
