SCREENPLAY AND NOTES BY SALLY POTTER
"A wonderful film—brave, funny, and moving."
—Michael Ondaatje, author of The English Patient
"Since Thriller and the widely acclaimed Orlando, writer-director Sally Potter has been known as a pioneer filmmaker. But none of Potter's previous formidable accomplishments quite prepare you for the extraordinarily intricate splendours of YES, easily her masterpiece to date.

But this sturdy dramatic situation is only the beginning.
"Potter, in true Joycean fashion ('Yes' is of course the last word of Joyce's Ulysses), departs freely from plot, creating a series of brilliantly choreographed poetic meditations on such topics as life at the cellular level, the metaphysics of dirt and the invisibility of those responsible for cleaning it up, the ever-deepening violence between the Muslim world and the West, and the eternal dance of antagonism and desire between the male and female. And don't think the term poetic is being used lightly. All of the dialogue and interior monologue is written and performed in superb Auden-esque rhyming verse.
"Potter's astonishing mixture of heady intellectual speculation and gut-wrenching erotic passion gives us the first authentic movie-heroine for twenty-first-century cinema." —Larry Gross, Telluride Film Festival
"It's as if Ingmar Bergman, William Shakespeare and Dr. Seuss had collaborated on an anti-war project." —Desson Thomson, Washington Post
"A stunning epic about a grand passion whose volcanic eruptions cast a lurid light on the collision of male and female, Muslim and American You haven't seen anything like it." —Tim Appelo, Seattle Weekly
"I loved this film It's a work that is intensely emotional, politically relevant, and psychologically astute." —Tom Brook,"Talking Movies," BBC World Vissza
