Movie Reviews of The Color of Paradise
Movie Review: Cinema at its FINEST!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a source of relief in an era in which popular cinema is full of meaningless fluff and artsy films tend to focus on bizzare elements of sexuality.The film is in Farsi (with english subtitles), but regardless of the language you understand, this film will speak to your heart. It is a timeless tale of spiritual testing and toil - of a search for meaning and redemption.
In addition, the film represents the spirit of a faith, Islam, that is not represented by the Western media. Rather than watching "Not Without My Daughter" or reading "The Princess", check this film out.
Movie Review: Stunning cinema
Summary: 5 Stars
Majid Majidi's COLOR OF PARADISE is the best kind of cinema. Simple in concept but executed with incredible skill and detail. We enter the world of a blind child in an incredibly intimate way, exploring his world of sound and touch and the isolation his blindness brings about. Almost ironically, we're also treated to some stunning images of lush scenery and locations. Absolutely mesmerising cinematography that even out-does the audiography.Characters and their lives are simple but very believable, and the performances from every one of the actors is spot on.
Highest recommendations!
Movie Review: Colors of the Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have a beating heart you will touched to its depth from the beginning to the end of this film. The glorious cinemaphotography brings the mountains of Iran so clearly into life it feels like you've been transported there. These mountains, with their peaks and valleys, are emblematic of the struggles the father goes through on his journey to acceptance of his blind son. The simplicity of the outer life depicted in this film makes it all the easier to see the inner changes in its characters. I suggest a purchase as you will surely want to share this film with your friends and family.Movie Review: Simply Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a film not for everyone, only for those who have a profound love of film. The story is a simple one. A blind boy who reaches out to touch the world that he cannot see. His self-pitying father, who has forgotten how to love. This film moves at a calm pace. Allowing us to feel for the boy by viewing his everyday actions. At one of the film's most moving moments the boy voices his frustrations to a blind carpenter(to which he is momentarily entrusted.)But it is the film's ending, which makes it a masterpiece. Both happy and sad, poignant and powerful. A film that is a triumph.Movie Review: Simply Beautiful
