This unsentimental but deeply emotional engaging film shows a side of urban Tehran seldom glimpsed before. Hussein (Hossain Emadeddin) is a taciturn loner, a war veteran once lauded but damaged and now working as an ageing pizza delivery boy. A series of masterful vignettes shows Hussein's growing despair at the gap between the haves and have-nots in a ravaged society. Full of suppressed hilarity and unexpected observations, the legendary Abbas Kiarostami's script provides a stunningly eloquent and moving account of a society split between privilege and desperation. From the director of THE WHITE BALLOON and THE CIRCLE, the film won the Un Certain Regard Jury Award in Cannes 2003. |
