Storyline
In this film, told almost entirely in iambic pentameter, She is a scientist in a loveless marriage to Anthony, a devious politician. He is a Lebanese doctor in self-imposed exile, working as a chef in a London restaurant. They meet at a banquet and fall into a carefree, passionate relationship. But the contempt He perceives as a Muslim immigrant to the UK causes him to break up with She, offering little in the way of explanation, and return to his homeland. She drags his reasons out of him little by little and tries to sympathize. Keenly feeling the loss of his love, She flies to Havana to sort things out on the beach and in the cabarets. She sends him a ticket, but harbors no illusions that He will join her in this Carribean melting pot... Written by Joe Jurca

Trivia
Joan Allen couldn't join the crew in Cuba because of the regulations making it difficult for Americans from visiting the country. Her scenes were shot in the nearby Dominican Republic and cut into the Cuban footage. See more »Goofs
As "He" is chopping celery and talking to his crew, the knife in his hands changes from shot to shot. One shot has pieces of celery stuck to the knife while the other shows a clean blade. See more »Quotes
Cleaner: And, in the end, it simply isn't worth / Your while to try and clean your life away. / You can't. For, everything you do or say / Is there, forever. It leaves evidence. / In fact it's really only common sense; / There's no such thing as nothing, not at all. / It may be really very, very small / But it's still there. In fact I think I'd guess / That "no" does not exist. There's only "yes".See more »

Incredible achievement. One of the year's best.
The language is poetry. (I hope the DVD will include the script.)
Great Casting. The performances strike the right note, which leaves room for the story to paint the picture for us to enjoy ... It's like sitting with a masterpiece, this one. To be taken in.
An inquiry into our modern human condition ... it combines politics into personal intrigue.
I'm reminded of Baz Luhrman's take on 'Romeo and Juliet', the clash of worlds. I like Potter's unique style, however.
I recommend this film for almost anyone, even though it is challenging and some may not appreciate it. Hey, it's all personal, or is it?
Note: R. Ebert's review reflects Potter's intent most closely I believe.
