Born on Fire is a horror film that finds its interest in the visual imagery created by director Jamil Dehlavi who constructs the film based on the Islamic religion, therefore the presence of the Djinn, the quotations of passages from the Koran on Iblis, that is, what the devil is for the Jewish-Christian religions, The film creates fascinating and evocative images, the visions of the musician Paul, the basement of the mosque in the flames where the master flautist, the villain of the film, resides and many other moments with well-constructed shots that therefore create atmosphere. The exteriors of the representation of the Turkish village work and the scenes are beautiful when the exterior of the mosque, of the musician Paul's refuge and of the woman who follows him are immersed in white with these circular pools of water to create pictorial images. The narration is nebulous in the sense that Paul is a classical musician who begins to hear and be attracted by a strange melody as well as the woman, in the film she has no name, beautiful shots and reverse shots of the latter at the beginning of the film with the master flutist as shown attraction and in fact the film proceeds in this wake. The two characters enter the Turkish village and especially the woman carries out actions because she is attracted, they are both fascinated by this aura that pervades the film, Paul discovers that his father, also a musician, he met and was the victim of the master musician, he has the task, followed by the guide Bilal, to defeat him. It is true that the narrative does not have much connection, it almost seems as if there are missing scenes that group together, unite the various events, therefore the film it is not always cohesive, creating this foggy atmosphere which nevertheless suits the context of the film. The actions of the characters and the progress of the story continue through images, with the figure of the master flutist who creates attraction by bringing mental disorder to the couple Read all
