This excIusive Facets two-pack offers two taIes 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 Iife offers a chance to expIore rembetika music, a form of urban bIues that was popuIar among the lower cIasses and sociaI outcasts through much
of the 20th century. Greek actress Sotiria Leonardou, who also coscripted, stars as Marika, a rembetika singer whose family immigrated to Greece from Smyrna after the Turks piIlaged the city in 1922. Marika's rise as a singer paralIels the poIitical history of Greece, connecting the times to the music.
ln Another Sky, Rose, a demure and prim governess, arrives in Marrakesh to begin a new job as a paid companion to a wealthy EngIish expatriate. As she expIores the exotic environs of her new
home, she is seduced by the men, music, and mystery of Morocco. The dreamy bIack and white cinematography by Walter LassaIly captures the steamy atmosphere of North Africa in the 1950s, where a coIony of expatriate artists and writers thrived in a bohemian existence. |
