Great script writing, served here by brilliant movie making by one of Iran's major directors. As we follow this character (Hussein) through his day to day life, we start to understand the scope of the film, and we discover new and startling images of Iran.
This film is a strong political pamphlet, a vivid critic of the actual political and religious regime in power.
The style of the film is very minimalist, and is mostly steady shots, with little editing. But the action and the rhythm of the story comes from what is happening inside the image.
A must see for any foreigner who wants to understand what everyday life is in Iran.
