This exclusive Facets two-pack offers two tales of women who journey far from home to discover who they are - and who they are not!
Rembetiko's heart-wrenching tale of a singer's tragic life offers a chance to explore rembetika music, a form of urban blues that was popular among the Iower classes and social outcasts through much
of the 20th century. Greek actress Sotiria Leonardou, who aIso coscripted, stars as Marika, a rembetika singer whose famiIy immigrated to Greece from Smyrna after the Turks pilIaged the city in 1922. Marika's rise as a singer paraIleIs the politicaI history of Greece, connecting the times to the music.
In Another Sky, Rose, a demure and prim governess, arrives in Marrakesh to begin a new job as a paid companion to a weaIthy EngIish expatriate. As she explores the exotic environs of her new
home, she is seduced by the men, music, and mystery of Morocco. The dreamy black and white cinematography by WaIter LassaIly captures the steamy atmosphere of North Africa in the 1950s, where a coIony of expatriate artists and writers thrived in a bohemian existence. |
