Iran 2000, 82 minutes
Dir. Samira Makhmalbaf
In Farsi, Kurdish with English subtitles
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama / Road Movie

 

Aroview: Set in politically unstable Kurdistan, this followup to THE APPLE by dir. Makhmalbaf, traces the adventures of a group of teachers searching the mountains with blackboards strapped to their backs, for pupils to teach.

Deliberately playing on the absurd innocence of the enterprise, this parable chalks-up a variety of viewpoints, local details, formal ideas and striking images on it’s ambitious tabula rasa.
