intro to rural life in contemporary Iran
3 June 2003 | by (Chiba City, Japan) – See all my reviews

Somehow this film reminds me of Italian Neorealismo - early works of Visconti and De Sica. Probably socio-economic situation may be similar in Italy in 40s and in contemporary Iran. While the film may be seen as an adorable children tale domestically, it serves as an objectively described introduction to rural life in Iran internationally.
