Year : 2006
Language : Persian (with lots of english)
Country : Iran
Director : Mohsen Makhmalbaf
I can only imagine that Makhmalbaf, a director whose past works I have liked must have been very schizophrenic when he thought of making this movie, given that this movie is ought to be some philosophical adventure.
In brief, the story is about an Iranian couple consisting of an ex-communist atheist husband and a mildly religious wife, go on a philosophical adventure honeymoon to India looking for some "perfect man" and some answers.
I couldn't manage to find the english subtitles, so watched it in its native language but more than 70% of the spoken words were in english/hindi so it didn't quite matter. The movie has some very good cinematography, but the thoughts behind the script simply sucks. Though this movie has been screened in many reputed international film festivals, but I can only imagine that this was due to the very good cinematography and possibly the reputation of Makhmalbaf.
