It subverts itself effortlessly and is never quite the film you think it is. It manages a switch of perspective halfway through which I didn't notice initially. What also makes the film remarkable for me is when you re-watch it you see a quite different film, as the twist that is so surprising on first viewing, is written cleverly though each preceding scene. A true tour-de-force by the writer.There are a few problems outside of the plotting and script though. The DVD has subtitles but you have to find them using your subtitle button otherwise the film plays without them. The picture quality of the DVD is pretty poor to - I'm not sure if that's the directors intent or just a really poor transfer. Also it isn't a particularly 'gay' movie so although it has a smouldering same sex plot-line it doesn't live up to the expectations that its publicity & the idea of a 'hamam' might arouse.The director clearly loves Italians, Filipino maids, Turkish working people and even unscrupulous middle men and particularly the gentle eroticism of the hamams. There is an obvious 'orientalism' underlying the plot that some may find disagreeable. However in scene by scene it feels like a non-judgmental journey into people's lives as they seek to survive and blossom in a harsh world. It's an honest and moving film full of delightful touches and a respect for life and love. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful *by M***G on 28 November 2018* Unexpectedly enthralling, unexpected twists make this sad - an Italian / Turkish take on a love story. Definitely worth watching..... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Catch it if you can *by J***R on 16 February 2011* An excellent film. Much underrated and rarely seen. It is very difficult to purchase this film in Europe for whatever reason. Video copies may be found - largely by accident. It is a wonderfully evocative film with an excellent soundtrack. The story rings true to life - many men have settled for married life rather than live a full gay life. This wife only discovers her husband's other life partner by accident.The Director is quite gifted and experienced so the film benefits from his touch. His recent film 'A Magnificent Haunting' shows these skills even better. The original title for the film is Hamam and you may be able to find it under that.Having lived in the Istanbul and enjoyed all that it has to offer I can assure you that the film is accurate - even down to the meal time arguments. It is a much neglected jewel believe me and if you can get you hands on the DVD then watch it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/110486381-hamam-the-turkish-bath-vhs](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/110486381-hamam-the-turkish-bath-vhs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
