DVD Reviews of Bab'aziz: The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul
DVD Review: Unusable product received -- very unhappy!
Summary: 5 Stars
The film itself is five-star. It's MARVELOUS AND MAGICAL. BUT:
I ordered Bab'Aziz believing that I would receive a film in Farsi WITH ENGLISH subtitles so it would be comprehensible. There were no subtitles AND there was no subtitle area to go to on the DVD to choose an English option! I gave this film as a PRESENT to my daughter, for us to share together. I drove 178 miles to share it with her. PAIN PAIN PAIN
On the packaging it SAID there was an English subtitle option -- but there wasn't. I don't speak a word of Farsi, nor does my daughter,so the film was a total loss for us. That's especially disappointing, since I'm retired and trying to live on a fixed income. I wasted at least an hour trying to find a way to send feedback to you, Amazon -- but there is no such possibility. Sure, I could have wasted more time repackaging it AND SPENDING MY OWN MONEY TO RECTIFY YOUR MISTAKE! UN-BE-LIEVABLE! INSULTING! CHEAP!
Suggestions:
1. ALLOW YOUR CUSTOMERS TO SEND FEEDBACK TO YOU, AMAZON!!
2. DON'T CHARGE YOUR CUSTOMERS TO MAKE YOUR MISTAKE RIGHT!!
Because your system is biased 100% in favor of you, corporate Amazon, I will be striving to end my customer relationship with you. You don't care about me -- so I don't want to be hurt again, and will seek alternatives to what has been a fairly good me - Amazon customer relationship until now.
Sincerely,
Shannon Tolson

A visual poem of incomparable beauty, this masterpiece from director Nacer Khemir begins with the story of a blind dervish named Bab Aziz and his spirited granddaughter, Ishtar. Together they wander the desert in search of a great reunion of dervishes that takes place just once every thirty years. With faith as their only guide, the two journey for days through the expansive, barren landscape. To keep Ishtar entertained, Bab Aziz relays the ancient tale of a prince who relinquished his realm in order to remain next to a small pool in the desert, staring into its depths while contemplating his soul.
As the tale of the prince unfolds, the two encounter other travelers with stories of their own including Osman, who longs for the beautiful woman he met at the bottom of a well, and Zaid, who searches for the ravishing young woman who fled from him after being seduced by his songs. Filled with breathtaking images and wonderful music, Nacir Khemir has created a fairytale-like story of longing and belonging, filmed in the enchanting and ever-shifting sandscapes of Tunisia and Iran.
