“Sally Potter – a dancer, choreographer, actress, singer, composer, writer, poet and filmmaker – has a new movie, Yes, opening on Friday. It follows Orlando (1993), The Tango Lesson (1997) and The Man Who Cried (2000) and several short films and documentaries. Yes stars Joan Allen, Simon Abkarian and Sam Neill. It is written in verse (iambic pentameter), one of the few films to use an unusual form of dialogue. (Two others are Force of Evil, 1948, in blank verse, and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, 1964, which is sung through.) Yes has two main characters, She (Ms. Allen), an Irish-American, and He (Mr. Abkarian), an Arab from Beirut, who begin an affair in London and end it in Havana.” (New York Times )
