No one will probably ever read this, but the film deserves some praise. (Well, it got some awards, but no one noticed).
But first of all, about the author. His real (correct) name is Mansur MADAVI. He is from Austria and I have had a real privilege to see three of his films. 'Dicht hinter der Tür' is a beautiful example of film making, that is 'telling something with images'. This is (the 7th) ART. Words cannot describe such film, you should see it and feel it.
For me this film is a Cinematic masterpiece (and I don't consider many of proclaimed films to be masterpieces), a unique experience. If you like Tarkovsky, Bergman, Parajanov..., you'd probably like this one, too. I recommend it to all TRUE film lovers around the world, although it can be classified as " a masterpiece you will never see" (not in the US, and even in Europe there is a little chance - maybe in the Cinématheque, if you're lucky enough to live close to one).
