Creativity starves insanity
For were it not the hand of another, asking to make waste a free preview screening, a gem such as this would have been missed. An Iraq/Iran collaboration about the Kurds on the border of Turkey, it's a film that is there to sit stunned at the sheer calmness of it all. Calm with all the surrounds blaring out a sense of impending doom and danger. The children who star and shepherd the film really do some fine work.
Despair and fear linger ever over the heads of those caught on the sidelines of the war on Iraq. The funnier moments at times doing little to allay any real lasting sense of peace and comfort. More joy for the moments that can be had. The here and the now.
Satisfying for the stomach that eats away at itself.
