Histoire d'un prince devenu borgne et mendiant 1996 Directed by Florence Miailhe

The fantastical 'The Prince who Lost an Eye and Became a Beggar' (english title) is a version of a story from the anthology proper, and provides a great example of the timeless fascination of the stories from the 1001 Nights. A prince leaves his country on a boat in search of adventure, only to find himself plunged into a series of unlikely adventures involving everything from a magical bronze horse that transports our hero to a faraway land, to a gigantic monster holding a beautiful princess captive. The forces of lust and death are forever intertwined, leading the prince to his inevitable downfall.
