While it's director went on to do better work and this film marks a return of cinema to the post Shah Iran, sitting through it is an effort.
We lose out both ways with the basic technique and unshaded characters of underdeveloped cinema (this one is like an early Yilmas Guney but nowhere near as good) made pretentious by what we must assume is opaque symbolism on the Kafka model.
This village overfills it's quota of idiots.
Best thing is the title background of the man walking a cow, reduced to an abstract.
