Agnes Varda, someone I really adore, she's so stylistic and esthetically correct. this is about architecture. alright, maybe this sounds like boring, but she explains a lot about architecture that's very interesting. it made me reflect on Tarkovsky's Andreij Roubljov. the film makes us think about architecture, sex and the couple on the soundtrack, talking about things as love and other nice experiences like poetry. and all this in less than six minutes! it's really inspiring for beginning or elder movie freaks like me. the things we learn about architecture, were unknown to me: everything is about love. that's strange, but it is. at least, that's what I intended to be the message of this experimental short film.

"The Pleasure of Love in Iran" is an out-take from Agnès Varda's "One SIngs, the Other Doesn't." It mostly shows tiles and architectural detail from Isfahan, Iran. Native to Isfahan Darius is showing his visiting French girlfriend, "Apple" (the one who sings) around. She sees the cupolas as being breast-like and the minarets phallic, he translates some poetry for her, and she writes one (on toilet paper). Only the title and a glimpse of "Pleasure" made it into "One Sings," which clocks in at just over two hours. Darius is a character, the major male character I'd say, in "One Sings."

The short is available as a supplement to the Criterion edition of "One Sings."
