Summary
Directed by Philippe de Broca in 1990, 'Les 1001 nuits' is an adventure comedy film that offers a unique, satirical take on the classic tale of Scheherazade. Unlike traditional adaptations focusing on various stories from the 1001 nights, this film places Sheherazade herself at the center of the narrative and explores her journey to escape a lustful king's pursuit. The movie blends fantasy elements with humor as it weaves together ancient times and modern-day London through the Genie's time-traveling TV.
