The perfumed garden

Through interviews with men and women of all ages and classes this film explores the myths and realities of sensuality and sexuality in Arab society, a world of taboos, of erotic literature and films. It begins looking at a more permissive history, and ends with the experiences of contemporary lovers from mixed backgrounds. The film discusses pre-marital sex, courtship and marriage, familial pressures, social taboos and issues of language. It also demonstrates how the rich legacy of fantasy in the A Thousand and One Arabian Nights still permeates contemporary Arab culture.

  • ""The perfumed garden is an exploration of the myths and realities of sexuality in Arab society. Through interviews with men and women of all ages, classes, and sexual orientations, the film lifts a corner of the veil that usually shrouds discussion of this subject in the Arab world. The film examines the desire for pleasure in societies that place a high value on chastity and virginity, and discusses pre-marital sex, courtship and marriage, private vs. public spaces, language, social taboos, and the desire to break them.""
