Tangeye Abu Ghorayb

Bahram Tavakoli paints celluloid with the colours of despair and misery to highlight the ever-resilient Iranian soldiers. Focusing more on the daily struggle of a group of soldiers, we follow the very last days of the Iran- Iraq war. Using professional actors, Tavakoli finds a dynamic realism in how the soldiers project their real life experience to the fictional narrative and it's his skill as a visual and poetic filmmaker that enables viewer to form a powerful response to the grim material.

One of the best Iranian war movies of all time. I can compare this masterpiece to Hollywood war movies and maybe this one is better than of some of them even. It tried to show comprehensive aspects of war through eyes of different soldiers with different roles.

Beside the total sadness of this movie which is based on real stories, also you can see realistic funny moments and this is the power of this movie.

It is showing us that ordinary people that laugh and make fun of each other, unite together for defending their country.

Also technically this movie is real engineered and it shows the director's power really well.

Watched this for third time and can't say enough how impressed I am, one of the best war movies I have ever seen, great story line, perfect visual effects, I recommend adding this to your watch list!

Best war movie of iran but Some technical filming problems for example in one totally sequence, frame rate is so low that cause annoying feeling for the eyes.

8 years war between Iran and Iraq from 1980. This film is just a short tragedy of the war that 2 countries faced and you fill it better if you lived on war time. Your eyes are full of tears when you leave the cinema hall and when you remember the oppressed and innocent soldiers. Pray for peace and no more war in the world.
