Audience Reviews

pancine 8/10 Feb 11, 2019
Stunning imagery. Whether interpreted as allegory or Kafkaesque nightmare, this is a prime example of the upper tier in art film. The end seemed somewhat out of place after the mesmerizing journeys through Lake Urmia in northwestern Iran. The director and others were jailed for making it. This film warrants multiple viewings.
