Passion in the Desert is a 1997 film written and directed by Lavinia Currier, based on the Honoré de Balzac novella "A Passion in the Desert."In 1798, Augustin Roberts (Ben Daniels) is a French soldier participating in the invasion of Egypt by Napoléon Bonaparte. He is separated from his regiment, along with artist Venture (Michel Piccoli). When Venture can't keep up with him, he tells Venture to wait for him to get help and continues alone. Starving and dehydrated, he stumbles into a canyon, where he meets a female leopard who leads him to water and shares her food with him. Augustin names the leopard Simoom and forms a strange bond with her. | |

Going Native: Augustin starts to mimic Simoon's behavior. He grooms her by licking her, clambers about on all fours, and even covers himself with mud and paints black spots on himself to look like her. | |
