Simple but different

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2000)

This is a simple but an excellent movie. Initially I thought just another of those "showing poor" style movie started. But as things go ahead, it was different. Ali lost his sister Zahra's shoes and the movie was a struggle to show that Ali wants to get back those shoes somehow.
It was just not a struggle to get back shoes, but get back on our true life. If you love simplicity and want to get back on fundamentals of life, this is the movie.
During this time I have seen a series of Iranian movies and quite impressed with the quality of the movies; I had no idea about the life of common people in Iran, the simplicity in their thoughts and the type of music, food, arts, beauty they like. These movies are really educating to me.
