A Social Tapestry on Film, in Verse: 'Yes'

NPR | By Bob Mondello
Published June 24, 2005 at 12:00 AM EDT

The new movie Yes was directed by Sally Potter, who also wrote it -- entirely in iambic pentameter. Bob Mondello says it's about love -- and politics, class, race and religion. Potter was previously best known for Orlando, another challenging film.
