Nafas

The structure is complete, smoothly made and shaped out of a great line. The acts are extraordinary. You hate the war and violence against the children in every second of this movie. You could have a really close feeling of your childhood throughout the story. Complete in every element! Every scene was filmed amazingly and i enjoyed watching every frame. You can feel the presence of the director. Those animation works into the mind of Bahare showing how she was thinking break the long scenes and stop you to get bored. Also the director "Narges Abyar" is a woman and she could understand the mind of a child and a father better than a man. The role of NANE AGHA was amazingly put and shaped into the story and you wanted to love her but also you couldn't love her.

Wow! Every year the Iranians surprise us with a new masterpiece. The directing, the acting and the cinematography are spectacular. I enjoyed every shot of this movie. I think the international film festivals won't overlook choosing this movie as the best one in every category. This little kid, Bahar, convinced me in every move she takes. She played the role perfectly.

Breath is a harrowing and affecting film, propelled by an incredible performance from the young actress Sareh Nour Mousavi. This is Narges Abyar's finest, most passionate, and most accomplished work as a writer & director. The storyline has a great deal of refreshing and completely genuine authenticity that's immediately present from the very first scene. This brilliant film will leave you feeling broken, but it's a must see.

I can not conceal my passion from watching this realistic movie I saw just 2 nights ago; and from that time all the story line is passing from my mind background scene by scene. The movie shares with you a long cut of an Iranian family throughout the childhood of the children which is simultaneous to the Iranian revolution and war; and no one could better describe the circumstances of those days to the next generations or people round the world than a girl with its wonderful, childish, and imaginary point of view of a girl called Nafas! Don't hesitate to watch this movie if you are still feeling your inside child.

Nafas (En: Breath) is one of those movies that some audiences like very much and others don't like it at all. But I am the one who loved this movie so much and watched it curiously until the end.

"Breath" is a calm poetic story told from the point of view of a child with the brilliant acting of Sara Noor Mousavi.

Some may consider the lack of a story and storyline as one of the most important weaknesses of this film, but in my opinion, this is a strong point of the film. Without facing a particular story, you sit in front of the intellectual concerns of a seven-year-old child for more than two hours and travel with her in her imaginary world without getting tired.
