Just watching snippets of Britain's Got Talent, in combination to an evening being interrupted by a rather unwelcome guest, induces a feeling of despair, frustration, introspection.
Want to have a movie in the background that's in tune with those sentiments... Was going to go for Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, but feel it's a bit too powerful, extreme, expressive of RAGE. Comparatively, I'm more inclined towards something that's a bit more reserved, artistically expressive (the sumptuous cinematography!).

Would like to think I identify with Count Umashi in some warped idealisation of myself!... He's a closeted guy, who has an esoteric knowledge, and passion for the desert, and desert culture (also for his knowledge of music, popular jazz in particular!). On the face of it, he's unfeeling, seemingly uninteresting compared to his more 'normal' companions... But he's made to look attractive: someone who's enigmatic, mysterious, knows about the world, full of hidden passion and desire. A dark, compelling figure, that has echoes of Jayne Eyre's Rochester.

A fantastic movie! Love the way there seem to be no boundaries of race. Ironic for it's depiction of a Fascist war in the background, where there's no prejudices at all amongst the main characters (for most of the narrative), and their attitude to other cultures.

Remember when I first watched this, I most identified with Kip.
Physically different, wanting someone to find him, having a dangerous occupation, and sleeping with Juliette Binoche!
