Film Festivals, Iranian Chutzpah……………..
“Fin de siècle movie The Wind Will Carry Us by Iranian film-maker Abbas Kiarostami is voted one of the decade's best movies by the Miami Film Critics' Circle. Kiarostami's socially critical film is the story of an engineer, Behzad, who travels to a remote Kurdish village with the intent of photographing the last days and funeral rites of a dying 100-year-old woman. The witty, haunting, poetic film is about Behzad's struggle to complete that mission, to capture something of real life on film without violating its essence. Dogville (Lars von Trier, 2004) - a work of sustained cinematic chutzpah and a testament to the power of the imagination…………..” Press TV (Iran)
Chutzpah indeed, in Iranian-Yiddish……..
Cheers and Happy Holidays
