| The story of an Italian architect who inherits a hammam, or public bath, and moves to Turkey, "Steam" was a critical and commercial success in Italy and became a modest art-house hit in the United States. Though the film's warm reception at the Cannes International Film Festival had put Mr. Ozpetek on the map as an Italian auteur with a European flair, in Italy his cinematic wandering between two cultures made him little more than an exotic phenomenon. His next film, never released in the United States, was "The Last Harem" ("Harem Suar�," 1999), a turn-of-the-century tale of an impossible love between a eunuch and a concubine. When "Blind Fairies," his first film set in Rome, was shown in competition last February as an Italian entry at the Berlin International Film Festival, Mr. Ozpetek, a naturalized Italian citizen for 15 years, was finally anointed an Italian director. |
