Absolutely Brilliant... Can you pick a favourite segment? I can't...


This would be a good introduction to Iranian film for anyone who hasn't seen any... brilliant camerawork, excellent script, perfect performances, and with that slight hint of absurdity that is always present in great Iranian films (like the final image of the old lady's stuff floating precariously away to the ships).

The very last scene of the final story made me tear.

I found the last scene slightly shocking (that ship was a loooong way out and they were only on flimsy homemade rafts), but of course not only is it a great lasting image from the film, it's also a great metaphor for the precariousness of female life in Iran. Great ending...

this is one of the places where the verbal language fails utterly. no words can describe my feelings as the old lady floated away. simply one of the greatest movies ever made. unfortunately, not many will even hear of it.
