Advantages: Ferzan Ozpetek brings a sense of realism in observing Turkish sexuality. Disadvantages: I personally hate the ending.

Directed by Ferzan Ozpetek. Starring Alessandro Gassman and Francesca D'Aloja.
Caution: This movie has subtitles.
Reading required but the great acting pulls it through. Francesco is tired of his troubled marriage to Marta (Francesca d’Aloja), who is spending a lot of quality time with her male assistant Paolo (Alberto Molinari), and his career as a busy, successful interior designer in Rome.

He is surprised to discover that the property is actually one of the last traditional hamams (old-fashioned bath houses) in Turkey and in great need of repair.
My immediate thought here was... Oh no! Interior designer meets old exotic house.

Where's the guy with the long sleeves ...
