Perhaps I should see it again
21 April 2001
Beautiful cinematography, nice camera work, good acting, but a story that seems to go nowhere. I was feeling a bit frustrated when I came out of the theater. Why was the engineer in this village anyway? Why the importance of the old lady? OK, we've seen the way rural Iranian society works, the place of the women, some cultural aspects of the people, but the ending had some damping effect on me. It's like a pizza without cheese, it's missing something.

Then perhaps I missed the point and I should see it again?

Out of 100, I gave it 72.
