5.0 out of 5 stars A great lost classic?, 5 Feb 2008
By K. Eden (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A female astronomer (Susan Crowley) enters the recital of flautist Paul Bergson (Peter Firth) just as he is troubled by hearing the sound of a strange flute. Talking, they also both discover they see identical things. Paul is called to his mother's bedside and as she dies she whispers the name of the Master Musician, a man Paul's father went to see in Turkey to learn prolonged blowing techniques but returned to the UK never playing again. And so, haunted by strange visions and precognitions, Paul and the woman astronomer travel to Turkey. There, with the help of the local priest Bilal (Stefan Kalifa), he realizes he must engage the Master Musician (Oh-Tee) in a musical duel and find the never-ending note that will make the Master Musician bow to the will of Allah and stop the Earth being consumed by fire.
In the interim the woman becomes possessed by the soul of Paul's fathers lover and both see visions of her being killed.
A hauntingly beautiful and mysterious film. The stunning Turkish scenery only adds to the mystery.
The constant profusion of weird imagery - the sun being eclipsed by a skull; houris who leave smoking footprints; weird elliptical flappings over of time; rivers of blood - does make it somewhat watchable, if wholly incomprehensible. Little of anything is explained - the imagery is intended to be everything.
A great lost classic......
