Veteran cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto moves the camera dexterously from the bare windblown deserts of Mexico and Morocco to congested Tokyo interiors, squeezing desolation and beauty out of both. In the movie’s most original, riveting sequence, we follow Chieko as she drops ecstasy in a park and dances with a group of boys in a packed discotheque. It?...

I wouldn't want a niqab-wearer as a role model for my child, and I wouldn't want to explain that his teacher considers her bare face somehow immoral. It is ironic that living in an Islamic theocracy, this is something I would never have to do, while non-Muslim British parents are being asked to do so on grounds of cultural tolerance...
