This movie is a clear example of style over content. I don't mind watching these type of movies, but in this case it doesn't make any sense! Movie tackles the subject of Iranian political prisoners, something that has barely made it to the screen and Ghobadi decided to waste this opportunity by a poor script and rely on symbolism.
I also don't understand why he has cast two great actors, Monica Bellucci and Yilmaz Erdogan, for Persian speaking characters. An actor should be able to say the lines fluently without weird accent. If not, even best actors will deliver poor performances.
