Movie Reviews of Under the Skin of the City
Movie Review: Some Good Scenes
Summary: 4 Stars
Having lived in this part of the world for some time, I was able to appreciate most of the cultural details that perhaps others in an American audience might miss. Still, the plot confused me in places. But the film is worthwhile for a couple of particularly good scenes. The first is when Abbas finally gets up the courage to declare his feelings for the young woman at the office - he overflows with happiness, cheering himself on in the elevator, and dancing around his mother's home with his sister's wedding dress as a partner. For a moment, he captures the bliss felt in Gene Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain." The second powerful scene is the ending, which turns the spotlight onto the viewer of the film.
