Tigers are Better Looking is an adaptation of a short story by Jean Rhys. In the film, Shariffe directs his view towards exile in Europe, showing the wide disparity between North and South. The film contrasts two different civilisations, the homeland, Sudan, and the country of exile, Great Britain. Through poetic abstractions the director manages to portray the strong sense of exile and the longing for the homeland.
The poems in the film were sung by the late Sudanese singer Abdel-Aziz Dawoud Kabli providing background music.
The film received special commendation in the Tour Festival, France, 1980.
