Movie Reviews of Steam: The Turkish Bath
Movie Review: Not One I Would Watch Again
Summary: 3 Stars
Francesco visits Istanbul where he plans to sell a haman (Turkish steam bath) he has inherited from his Aunt Anita. He decides to restore the bath after meeting Mehmet and his family. Francesco's wife Marta from Rome makes a sudden appearance in Istanbul where she finds his husband "changed" as she relates to her lover Paolo when she telephones him. Then the plot takes a strange twist indeed.
What this film has going for it: Interesting shots of Istanbul and appealing soundtrack. The letters Francesco discovers of his Aunt Anita are moving.
What is wrong with this film: The plot meanders, much of the scenes are shot in practically total darkness; the movie cries out for a good editor. Finally, if you are expecting orgies in the steam bath in the tradition of Roman baths, look somewhere else. The photograph on the DVD is just a teaser.
