Life and a Day

A complete drum and, in all sense, one of the best Iranian films, thanks to the dear Saeed Rustayi for making a good and lasting effect, forever and one day, a flip. It's a lie to remind us of a forgotten class. The buried class is under the rubbish of misery and poverty, and of addiction and dangers, and ....... But the most controversial and, most of all, the most golden, The dialogue is the one where Morteza said loudly to everyone: "Anyone can, and there is no shortage of lesser dogs, every time they go and get back from the dog less, less." This dialogue is tapped in the face of the audience.

I highly recommend this!. As much as you can you should watch this.

I highly recommend this movie to everyone who like to see how an impoverished life can be in Tehran.

This is an extremely good realistic movie about a family and it's miserable members. If you don't understand Persian language, you may find it little difficult to read the subtitle and keep up the fast moving documentary style visuals at the same time. But, as the film progress, it's amazing, you will get into it completely. Each character is well defined, there is no good or bad, everything is situation driven. This is the reason I love Iranian films so much. Amazing job on the acting as well.

Perhaps you will find that in the beginning the movie has so fast dialogues. And it continues through out all of the movie. So if you are foreigner (like me ) you will find difficult to catch all from the subtitles and perhaps you will say not worth to see. But if you insist, sooner or later you will start to understand the beauty of the movie. It needs to see at least one more time to start seeing all the surrounding that you missed first time by looking at the subtitles. The characters are so good in their roles! The photography unbelievable! you will enjoy seeing it again the next day. I had years to see a such moving movie.
