122. A time for drunken horses (2000)


Country: Iran / Kurdistan
Directed by Bahman Ghobadi

Never while you are watching the film you feel that is something great. However, when it ends, you realize that is almost flawless: with a simple narration, full of humanity, without to be overdramatized, with the children actors to play as to participate not in a fiction but in a documentary,  gives you a glance to reality that is not shined through the camera lens. Movies tend to be impressive with one way or the other but this usually make them less real. 'A time for drunken horses' doesn't try to be deep or poetic nor to be directed masterfully. Doesn't either try to exploit the misery. Is an honest film as honest cinema can be
