Featured reviews
Also unique artistic actings of Golshifteh Farahani and Ali Shademan as mother and son besides their impressive interactions just makes you fall in love with the movie as if the characters are your close friends.
Not to forget the memorable heart-warming songs of the album ''M For Mother'' by Aria Aziminejad which add even more strong innocent emotions to the movie.
This 2006 movie directed by the cinematographer Rasoul Mollagholipour is my escape stop after the 'Marvel's Eternals' disaster.
This movie, which broke box office records in all Iran and the Middle East when it was released in 2006, has been forgotten today.
I thanked Rasoul Mollagholipour, whose grave I visited when I went to Iran, for this film.
(This movie whose DVD copy is also very bad) I hope it is discovered and restored by Criterion.
The great acting of Ali Shadman and singer/activist Golshifteh Farahani (currently residing in America) is just one of the dozens of beautiful details in the movie.
The invention of cinema, which started with Thomas Edison and continued with the Lumiere Brothers, is as if it was a destiny written by the gods so that Iranian cinema could be born.
