I was waiting to write on this movie for a long time…
Movie Name: Bacheha-Ye Aseman(1997)
Language: Persian
Director: Majid Majidi
I happened to watch this on UTV Movies Directed by Majid Majidi and translated into English as "Children of Heaven" and I really liked it… The simplicity of the story and the subtlety with which the director handles the script is great...The performance of the Zahra and Ali (the child actors) is commendable....
This movie is about Ali and Zahra (brother and sister). Ali takes Zahra's shoes to get them repaired but loses them on the way back home. The movie is about how they go about hiding this from their parents and the adventure they undertake to keep this an everlasting secret....
I will not reveal anything more about the movie and be a spoilsport but I was thoroughly impressed by the way the director portrays the relationship between the siblings and how a simple story is scripted with such finesse into a wonderful movie…
Btw, UTV movies shows some good foreign language films through out.. Check it out...
Here is a trailer from youtube
