Typecast Releasing is proud to announce the home video availability of Tunisian director Nacer Khemir’s critically acclaimed 2006 film, Bab’Aziz – The Prince Who Contemplated his Soul. The final film in Khemir’s Desert Trilogy was a New York Times Critic’s Pick, while Sheri Linden of the L.A. Times stated, “there’s nothing forced about Bab’Aziz; its ideas resonate quietly, building to a breathtaking climax.”

The DVD also includes the new 20-minute featurette called Nacer Khemir’s Desert Trilogy, an insightful look into the director’s films and fascinating expositions on the connections between Bab’Aziz, The Dove’s Lost Necklace and Wanderers of the Desert.

“The breathtaking desert landscapes that dominate Nacer Khemir’s beautiful, elliptical Middle East drama deserve the big screen. . . you’ll remember the dreamlike state the film induces long after the credits roll.”
