Country: Iran
Directed by Ebrahim Golestan
One of the most important times of Iranian cinema ever,'The brick and the mirror' is a movie that is difficult to be classified. Is consistent by a sequel of scenes that are often unbalanced, having a style that at times is close to expressionism , at times is influenced by French nouvelle vague but most often is almost realism with a way that reminds documentary. The film steps on existentialism but ,at the same time, is full of social comments, describing really well the social environment that a few years later - as almost predicts -got even more oppressive against the freedom of the individual. Although the film has some weaknesses, most part of it is a pure masterpiece. As for the leading woman character is probably one of most daring in the history of Iranian cinema.
