Lakposhtha ham parvaz mikonand (2004)
aka: Turtles Can Fly
Dir. Bahman Ghobadi
This film is the first to be made in Iraq after the fall of Saddam. It’s mainly about children attempting to survive in an adult world on the eve of the US invasion of 2003.
(sumpah, buaguuuus banget… must see pokoknya… sinematografinya jempol, castingnya hebat, ceritanya insightful… film ini dengan lihainya merangkum berbagai macam tema, dari latar belakang perang, child labour, land mines, perdagangan senjata, motherhood, etc… masing2 tema ‘cuma’ disentuh sedikit, tapi dalam… one of the best movie i’ve ever seen)
