Country: Iran
Directed by Parviz Kimiavi
A 20 minutes documentary that , even I watched it without subtitles so possibly I misunderstood the intentions of the director, I consider it as a pure masterpiece. As crowds visit a famous religious site of Iran, the shrine of Imam Reza, Kimiavi captures perfectly the blind faith , lack of education, despair of the people who gather to worship the place asking for blessing. The antithesis between their miserable existence that is ruled by poverty and the brilliance of the super luxurious temple is shocking but in the same time this brilliance , this greatness of the sacred place gives you a feeling of awe: the presence of god is dominant and humans beings too small! (Even if I disagree with it as an atheist, this feeling is given with unique way in the movie!)
