Beautifully made, always sounding right, darker than reality in the West, but dark as dark in Iran.
The Shah was a tyrant, but you could live and when politically active also die, but what came was the enduring horror until our days, a real brutal sadistic man´s world.
A woman film? Yes a woman film, but also a human film and a film for the price of freedom.
Leaning a bit on the communist side ( the bad West, arming Iraq and Iran for slaughtering themselves, well what has Russia done? )-
So Marjane ( Author & co- director ) wants to go back to Iran but can´t.
But it seems that she live happily in Paris.
The colors come back at the end...Yes that must be the price for a certain quality of freedom.
A curiosity, well thought, still ...curiously, no one word about the Khomeni of the horror, I mean the name, of the mass murderer, but the Shah, oh yes very often.
That is what I call the nomenclature of a a biased ideal-
A must for one view.
