A Western couple (played by Melissa Leo and James Wilby) working in Pakistan visit an unconventional holy shrine to harness its spiritual powers to help them conceive a child. They are lavished with the attentions of the shrine’s leader (an exceptional performance from Zia Mohyeddin – Lawrence of ArabiaKhartoum) and her followers, but their methods and motives are not all that they seem, and the couple’s lives are plunged into darkness. This ravishing, unsettling film from director Jamil Dehlavi (The Blood of HussainBorn of Fire) is a deeply personal work which raises questions of cultural and sexual identity, religious fanaticism and the abuses of power. The brand-new 2K restoration from the original negative was supervised and approved by Dehlavi and cinematographer Nic Knowland. This disc also contains bonus features.
