Bomb: A Love Story

The second movie of Payman Maadi is a love story that happens during the Iraq-Iran war in Tehran. It is successful in combining the two contrasting concepts: love and war. However, the story is slow and there's not much happening in most of the movies, and it does not help to introduce the characters to the audience. There are also some signs from the director that repeat way more than necessary, in a way that they are not interesting anymore. (such as the tangerine peel) From the technical point of view, it is a big step forward compared to his first movie (The Snow on The Pines) where the brilliant soundtrack of Eleni Karaindrou and the Mahmoud Kalari's cinematography are very successful in showing the war-torn city.

Good comedy, great atmosphere ( iran 80s ) and a bad ending it could be a 2 hours movie it was too short and the romance story wasn't complete and they also used some great music such as moonlight sonata by beethoven and some other classic music and a short piece of farhad they couldn't use other famous singers back there because of censorship however they showed early post-revolution culture especially in schools it has a very sarcastic dialog to nowadays iranian policy

Good film of maadi. It could be better. He has work more on the texts.

A delicate love story which avoids cliches of romantic movies.

As a 20 yo boy, I've always heard about war but never really felt that. This movie helped me to more understand that time.
