A chance encounter between a well-off American woman (Joan Allen) and a working-class Lebanese exile (Simon Abkarian), both living in London, turns into a red-hot affair, then develops into an equally heated dialogue—delivered almost entirely in iambic pentameter, à la Shakespeare!—concerning disagreements on matters of religion, politics, and sex, a lusty lover’s quarrel, compellingly performed, that carries on from Belfast to Beirut to Havana. “Alive and daring, not a rehearsal of safe material and styles… [Potter’s] films strain impatiently at the barriers of convention.”—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
