Review of Pari

Intriguing story which kept me guessing until the end. Liked the dark atmosphere. The unconventional scenes: the lesbian friend, the mother taking off her head scarf / breast feeding I have not seen before in other Iranian movies. It made me think about the more conventional Iranian movies of Kiarostami, Farhadi as opposed to the more political films of Makhmalbaf, Panahi. Saw this movie online on Vitamine Cineville ( Dutch Arthouse Website ) as it had it premiere online a couple of weeks after Burnt Orange Heresey. Although I could have expected this from an arthouse movie the unresolved ending about what happened to their son kind of surprised me.
