I really love the Cinematography in this film. It reminded me of the Coen Brothers movies, especially ‘Fargo.’ I also thought the Neo-Realistic style of the movie was very effectively done, and was never over-used or border into sentimentality. This is a simple story about a rebellious and disconnected young man looking for a job in a remote mountain village and the ‘widow’ woman that he falls in love with there. Though, this isn’t a love story like the way the western audiences are used to. On the contrary, this was a highly political film, focusing on the hardships and the struggles of a group of unemployed people, trying to survive the unbearable conditions of Iran’s notorious winter. I especially love the way the director used the silences to communicate to the audiences…
