Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Sirocco is worth clearing space for. The writing in Sirocco treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. A soft erotic movie showing scenes of men in love, in the desert, and on the beach. Marcos Carmargo and Estefan du Prez lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1997. What elevates Sirocco is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Sirocco is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Marcos Carmargo carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.
