Colossal, stylish and unique
'Arabesque' surprised me in the way is filmed and edit.
Fantastic imposed scenes, mostly with glass reflection / mirroring and underwater images of fish tanks aquariums overlapping the actions scenes.
Sophia Lauren gives a great performance and you can see how a woman get engaged in the action of the plot in the movie but keeping her genuine feminine presence. (thinking this movie was released late 60's - women's liberation).
All the characters are well chosen in this movie with great performances, this include Gregory Peck - An Oxford professor of languages who is hired to decipher an Egyptian message.
The overall visual is stylish, sensual and definitely a movie to see again and again - Colossal. -
