Here is my question: how it is possible that a poor movie like this, won the Silver Lion for best director at Venezia 2009 festival! maybe i don't know Shirin Neshat, the movie's director and her previous artworks including her movies, but of course i can judge her directing. She's awfully giddy according to her direction in this movie, progressing the film without a coherent screenplay is just a game, a political game which indicates Iran's chaos in that period of time continued until now.
I think spending your time on watching this movie is just killing it.
many goofs make movie more intolerable for you. But if you really want to watch it then pull the trigger!
there are some scenes i want to talk about them very briefly but since neither i want to waste your time nor mine on this, i just talk about one of them : A scene which Munis is falling down of a building and dies, then her brother(Amir Khan) buries her in their garden. some days later her friend, Faezeh, during Amir Khan's wedding hear a sound from underground, and it was Munis calling for help! Such a ridiculous part it is, in a realistic story like this, how could that happen?only god knows.
at the end, if you watched it and enjoyed i totally respect your choice.
