                    [Summary] => 



Morocco is very far away, another world entirely – that’s what the camera tells you as it sweeps across the map and stops on the town of Mogador on the edge of nowhere. It is hot, dusty, reeking of danger.


Of course this is not really Morocco but Josef von Sternberg’s idea of Morocco, executed on a studio backlot by some harried production designer. This is cinema, not fact, and I, for one, prefer cinema.

The French have a far more disarming alternative to the Foreign Legion and it's
called French Spring in Manila in this culturally-challenged part of the
world. As its intriguing name suggests, this rash of francophilia comes as the
Philippine edition of the annual embarrassment of riches that also hits other
Asian capitals like Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore and Hong Kong -- all in the name of
post-imperial la mission civilisatrice.

But there are invasions and there are invasions, some more heartily welcomed
and looked forward to than others.
