| | 1. |  | The White Balloon
from Evergreen Ent
Customer Review:
Through this curiously simple story, Abbas Kiarostami displays a breathtaking exploration around the social body of the Iranian nation, about a seven years old girl who, in the eve of the New year- 1374 according the Iranian calendar- in her desire to buy a goldfish, loses her money on the... more info

from Facets
Price: $28.45
Customer Review:
Once Upon a Time, Cinema is one of the best Iranian movies I have seen to date. Montages of old Iranian movies are beautifully incorporated into the main story giving it a very surreal yet nostalgic effect. I found the story to be similar in concept as movies like "The Purple Rose of... more info

| | 4. |  | Where Is the Friend's Home?
from Facets
Customer Review:
I saw this film in a film festival years ago, the first from Iran I ever saw, and I was hooked. The simple humanity of the story and the surroundings completely touched me. Just my 2 cents worth, since other reviewers tell the story line very well. Would love to see this on DVD.

from Facets
Customer Review:
I actually went to watch "Where is my Friend's House?" but ended up watching this second installation in the so-called Earthquake Trilogy by Abbas Kiorastami as well. All I can say about his movie is that it is a must-see for any film enthusiast. Although it plays like a documentary and... more info

| | 8. |  | Leila
from First Run Features
Customer Review:
I must admit that I'm a bit surprised by many of the others' reviews--it seems as though many others turned the film off before the very final scene, the last words and glimpse of Leila. That one moment in the film turns the entire film around--and left me with a much richer view of the film than... more info

| | 9. |  | Kandahar
from New Yorker Video
Customer Review:
Kandahar is a film that I've been wanting to see for years. It became a "de rigueur" staple of the art-house cinema circuit following 9/11. I remember the long lines at the Museum of Fine Arts here in Houston, when the film was screened.
Obviously, this film has its fans, as evidenced by the... more info

| | 10. |  | The Actor
from Facets
Price: $28.45
Customer Review:
A rather funny movie about this actor who wishes to act in artistic films, but ends up getting roles in comedy films. His wife who cannot concieve a child is bent upon getting her husband married to a gypsy women to get a child. The end is a pleasant surprize. Good fun. Good cinema.
