188. The apple (1998)


Country: Iran
Directed by Samira Makhbalmaf

I don't know if I could call such a simple made film a masterpiece or its 17 year old director a genious but ' The apple' is certainly one of my most favorite movies of Iranian cinema and I felt very greatful that I watched it.
This semi-documentary, where a story is recreated with the same people who lived it in the reality, has a dim, shocking theme that most of directors would choose to depict as a tragedy but Makhbalmaf instead makes a hymn to the life , to the beauty of existence and a testament of faith for the human kind. One of the rare films that give a big smile to your face anytime.
