dir: Majid Majidi - 2005
A moving, thought-provoking movie from Majid Majidi (director of children of heaven and color of paradise). It is a story of Youssef, a blind university professor, who spends his time playing with his young daughter, and has his wife assist him with his work. From the onset, it's a happy little family, except that Youssef has a dream, that he could one day regain his sight and see again.Life is always unexpecting one, you do not know what is there waiting for for u........ Visually speaking, the weaving of light with dark scenes allows the story to further come to life giving a final illumination on a story that shares, sympathizes and delivers.The film might seem simple - few key characters (lovable too), gorgeously shot, and you might think you have the plot all wrapped up, there's always this beauty in the simplicity of it all, and its powerful underlying message ever so subtle, in no way sledge-hammering itself on you at all.
