Trivia:
This film was never distributed to Iranian cinemas because it was considered too "dark" by the Mullah's regime. Therefore, it was not able to be considered as the Iranian entry for Best Foreign Language Film for the 2003 Oscars because it was not released in Iran. more

Just another Iranian movie, 18 July 2006
10/10
Author: TheVillageCharlatan from Losa Angelosa

This is just another Iranian movie...It's like what I read about Florence in the Lonely Planet guidebook..that it astonishes you, and then slowly you come to terms with it and its beauty and you take it for granted that everything in Florence is grand and excellent. The same could be said for many of the Iranian movies, made by giants such as Kiorastami, Makhmalbaf and Panahi. This is just another of those movies...movies that cannot go wrong! The story is interesting, acting is natural and the dialogue is, to a large extent, minimum.

What I like most about Iranian movies is that they are never preachy and they do not make fuss about anything, but simply, subtly drive their point(s) home....just like how we act in real life.

People who did not like this movie, should watch the Arnold or Chuck Norris movies during the weekends in Fox 11 TV channel.
