Because it was my first Iranian movie-experience, and I thought it was fantastic! I didn't great expectations for the movie, but man am I so glad for this great surprise, I'll venture into the Iranian world of movies after I seen this one.

My respects to all Iranians, we here in Saudi Arabia should learn from your examples we share the same or almost the same censorship, actually.. you have much more censorship and we have no filmmakers which is understandable as we have no Cenimas lol, but you prove that even with limited freedom you can still make a great Picture!

Good advice, luism1fan. I've watched at least 5 Iranian films over the years and I'm happy to learn about a different slice of Iranian culture each time.

No two persons ever watch the same movie.

If you haven't seen it already, you MUST be A Separation. Superb Iranian film, definitely one of my all-time favorites.

Hopefully in the past five years you've watched and enjoyed more films from Iran. I'm an American, raised on Hollywood movies, and while I have a lot of love for my country's movies, I really like what I've seen from Iran.

I've made a list of films from Iran that I have sen and enjoyed, in case you would like some recommendations: http://www.imdb.com/list/O_W_YAxSHQk/
