It moves from scene to scene as if the incidents were being ticked off a master list It’s such a shame, given all that went into making it, that Desert Flower is so flat it should somehow be more, but Sherry Hormann’s workmanlike direction (from her own screenplay) robs the piece of much of its emotional impact until a brutal, late-in-the-day sequence which graphically depicts the genital mutilation of a five-year-old Dirie. Desert Flower tackles an important and difficult subject – female circumcision – through adapting the memoirs of Somalian model Waris Dirie, a nomad-turned-fashion-icon who has led a truly extraordinary life.
