Majid Majidi - IRAN - 2008 - fiction - color - '96 - OV - STT BIL

Iranian film that made a splash at the 2008 Berlin Festival. Karim, a good husband and father, gets fired from his job on an ostrich farm. Almost by accident, he starts working as a motorcycle taxi driver in the big city, but urban turpitudes threaten to spoil this countryman’s basic honesty. A metaphor about moral decline and redemption, the story opposes materialism and spirituality, as do all the films by Majid Majidi (who directed Baran, among others).
