In this movie Dariush Eghbali ( Greatest Iranian Singer) is a Lover of a Bitch ( Farzaneh Taidi) !!!! This film is played with such beauty and innocence; it is a true pleasure to watch. Dariush eghbali plays Azar with such incredible depth and passion, one is completely drawn into his plight. From the start of the film, we see the relationship between brother and sister, played with equal warmth by Shohreh Aghdashloo, strained as he explains how he lost her dress. The sorrow on dariush's face, and Shohreh's tears at the news, are truly heartbreaking to watch. The expressions on the faces of the children are so genuine, it is clear that spending a cinematic hour and half will be a pleasure, albeit not an easy one There is so much in Western civilisation that we take for granted. What to us are simple daily belongings to others is pure decadence. Aside from anything else, this film is a window into a world so many of us do not understand Missing this film, particularly if simply put off by the fact it is foreign language, would a sad deprivation of the senses and the heart. It is not just a film, it is an experience, and one that is completely passionate, and totally unforgettable.
