Weird-arse movies that Channel 4 showed in the 1980s based on Arabian mythology that you remember being weirded out by when you watched them and that starred Peter Firth and Nabil Shaban #1: Born of Fire
It’s going to be a short series.
Unusual and violent activity is observed on the surface of the sun during an eclipse. A dormant volcano erupts in Turkey. A musician (Peter Firth) is haunted by a strange melody. These are the starting points of what turns out to be a surrealist journey into Arabic mythology.
After meeting an astronomer (Suzan Crowley) who observed the strange activity on the sun, Firth visits his mother on her deathbed. She tells him of the Master Musician, a mysterious being living in Turkey, where his father, also a musician, died a long time ago.
Firth takes off for Turkey, to face the demons of his father’s past and find this mythical Master Musician. His trip takes us deep into the heart of arabic mythology, into a world inhabited by Djinns and Shaytans, respectively born of Air and Fire. He will learn many things about his father’s life that will bring him to the brink of insanity.
