Country: Iran
Directed by Sohrab Shahid-Saless
I am aware that this film is not for everyone. Even people familiar with artistic movies probably they will find this one very boring, considering that nothing happens in the 90 minutes of its length. Actually this is true: nothing happens, as we witness, almost as in a documentary, the everyday life of an old couple that spends all the time silently in a small room , in the middle of nowhere. However, if you really give time to the film, the portrait is so real, the depiction of life so vivid, the common things that unify any human existence with the others so present, that the film ,after a while , becomes almost captivating. The movie , with a strange way, comes to concern us deeply , and the old couple , with their simple and boring routine, comes so close to us that become almost our parents, our relatives, our friends, ourselves : at the end although is not melodramatic at all, we feel strong emotions
