Bashu is an amazing movie by any standard. I have watched Kiarostami, Makhmalbaf, Panahi, Majidi, but Beyzai supersedes them all inthis great film.
The story is nothing new and nor is it complex. But the way the director showed the complex undertones of complete stranger Bashus psychology was astounding.
My hats off to Beyzai: "YOU ARE THE MASTER"

Bashu deals with a very complex issue which is the vast cultural differences in Iran. It is masterfully done by one of the best directors of Iran, Bahram Beizai. Bashu is the name of a young boy from South-Western part of Iran who happens to end up in Northern part of Iran and experiences the cultural shock. In comparing these two parts of Iran, Beizai masterfully brings out the differences between the people, the climate, the costume, the language, and the past influence of Super-powers (Russia in the North and Britain in the South) meanwhile tying the story together to make a delightful movie.
I saw this movie when it was first released, and have watched it over and over again and recommend it to all.

I am in complete agreement with the other positive comments posted for this movie. The director certainly knows how to frame a striking visual image.
One additional comment needs to be shared. The version of this movie currently on video (Year 2004) is very sparsely subtitled. The second hour has much more dialog than the first, but after the first hour, the subtitles grow fewer and farther between.
Also, the subtitling does not indicate what languages or dialects are being spoken at any given time. Each line of dialog is (sometimes) translated into English for the viewer, but it is often not clear that the tongue being spoken is foreign to the other characters hearing it in the scene.

"Bashu" is special, important, soulful, educational, touching and not to be missed by anyone who even mildly likes film.
Aside from the cinematography acting as a medium and taking the viewer into the world of rural Iran, director Bahram Beizai uses supernatural touches to move the audience. Sussan Taslimi is tough and beautiful; the children in the film are delicious; the elders of the village are real, hateful, human.
Very little dialogue moves the story along, another feature that makes this film watchable. The piece is shot with trust and slowness that you can bathe in the surroundings without having to feel that you are on a mystery hunt. There is mystery of course and not all of it is explained. It certainly is not a Hollywood movie. It is not even a European movie. it is simply, A MUST SEE MOVIE.

This is one of the nicest movie I've ever seen. I just would like to comment on the language. This is an Iranian movie, but the language is not Persian as the small boy (Baashu) speaks Arabic and the region where the film has been shot is Gilaan or Mazanderaan, therefore the language is Gilaki or Mazanderi. It is not really understandable to Persian speakers. So you might need subtitles to understand it. I loved this touching movie. It is the story of a Baashu, a small nomad boy who escapes combats in the south of Iran (during Iran-Iraq war). He jumps in a truck and finds himself in an unknown place where he understands nobody's language. A farmer woman takes him under her protection. The film is about differences or I should say humanity and common feelings among all humans, like love and compassion. I will not tell you more, but advise you to watch this exceptional film. I wish you a nice moment watching this wonderful movie.

- QuizWhen Na'i becomes sick and the villagers won't help, Bashu performs a zar ceremony. Zar refers to an African belief that the body has been possessed by an evil wind, and in order to be cured, a ceremony involving drumming and chanting must take place to subdue the wind and return the afflicted to health. It was brought to Iran by Africans (many of them through the slave trade).
