| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisThis side of Makhmalbaf is exhilarating at its best but still feels essential at its petulant and shapeless worst. |
| User Reviewdan uIf you are interested in India, philosophy, spirituality, or beautiful cinematography this movie is a must see. If you are not fussed about any of those things you would probably find it a little wierd. Although there are a lot of enlightening discussions about faith and religion. |
| User ReviewMahdi SThat is one of the best (terrific) movies which had been watched by me. Really this shows an internal big challenge which almost of the religions try to solve & fix for humanity. So there would be too much answers in this regard but who can have a complete reply to mentioned challenge by this movie. Up with to Mr. Makhmalbaf by this art and I hope to see more works by him in this matter. |
| User ReviewAli NSo mentally and so artistic movie made by Mohsen Makhmalbaf.This movie nicely poses to you a conflicts of metaphysics and existence of God.I reallt enjoyed watching this movie. |
| User ReviewGhazal SI have cross seven sees Gone up all the seven heels Down all the valise Crossed my deepness True all the season Travel all around the world And when I came back home I was ashamed to see All this world in a tiny due drop In the leaf of the planet in my garden . |
| User ReviewPitvok PThe dialogue b/w a couple, one of them is an atheist, another is believing in god, inspires me to think of the life. And the background is in India, it brings you to another mythical world!!! |
| User Reviewli bIts about the battle of sprituallity and materilistic thoughts between a young couple who travel to India to discover the route of spritual ideas.Its Directed by one of the best Iranian directors. |
| User ReviewOlga TIt seems to the director tries to demonstrate if not ridiculousness then at least dubious nature of the spiritual search that some foreigners pursue in India. He even found some good artistic forms to express it. But overall it is one of those art-house movies where you sort of see what the director tries to say but the ways he chooses to say it often curb the message |
| User ReviewPrivate UIt is form Iran, talking about a couple, the husband is atheist while the wife has religion. Through the argument between them, it takes you a journey to deliberate the life, poverty, culture, truth, and after death. |
