I would affirm that thats the kind of films that one should watch when philosophical and existentialist questions arrive at life.

Majid Majidi serves us a really solid story here as we follow a blind kid and his father. His father is not too proud, the kid is bright and have some healthy interests. They visit granny and her small village and this is a nice, sentimental journey all the way. Touching and impressive film that's far from my own reality. Some really impressive scenes - the bird's nest-scene, the foggy woods-scene among others. Well acted - I really wonder what the kid are up to these days, knowing his out of the movie business. OK production, it's getting 15 years now so I guess you can't expect too much. I would say that the sound is especially magnificent, even today. The ending is remarkable in it's own way. Well worth a go. 7.5. out of 10 sunglasses. See more 06/28/2014 Despite that my rating may be a misleading indication of the film's qualities, some true facts about Majidi's "family" film are: - He creates intense drama without manipulative melodrama. - It is gorgeously filmed. - It has powerful lessons in between about the importance of the family bonds. - It has a heartfelt score. - It is not your typical drama film. This unfortunately does not exclude the usage of some clichés in the characters and the typical "The Sound of Music" hills scenes in which the main character contemplates nature as an obvious in-your-face reminder about the extraordinary importance of sight, and the appreciation of the things and senses we have in life. The importance of these messages will never wear out, so originality is not an issue here. It is about delivering them in a form transcendent enough to cause a long-term reflection or, in the best of the cases, an emotional perpetuity in the viewer. That is not accomplished here, because the effect is definitely short-term. Yet, the performances by father and son are impeccable, especially by Mohsen Ramezani, the blind boy fighting against indifference and the cowardice of his tormented father, and the imagery is difficult to forget. 74/100 See more 05/25/2014 Well, this is an extremely beautiful film.
