12.10AM, BBC2 Debra Winger and John Malkovich play the couple embarking on an ill-fated North African adventure in the hope of reigniting the spark in their relationship. Bernardo Bertolucci’s visually stunning film is suffused with the desert sun, but loses the existential substance of Paul Bowles’s original novel.
