Good work by Ghobadi, 21 September 2005
Author:
LeRoyMarko from Toronto, Canada
I really liked this Ghobadi movie about life for the Kurds on the
Iraq-Iran border. One thing I really enjoy in movies from that neck of
the world is the fact that we're not dealing with professional actors
here. Most of the characters are played by regular Joes and it adds on
to the experience. "Marooned in Iraq" also shows the daily life of the
Kurds, being bombarded by Saddam's planes. Interesting look at the
culture, at the way of making a living, like at the brick work. As in
"A Time for Drunken Horses", I was also very moved by the look in the
children's eyes. The cinematography is also beautiful. And I enjoyed
the traditional music. Rent this one (or get it at your local library
like I did) and see for yourself Mirza's odyssey. It plays almost like
a treasure hunt. One negative note though: I saw the film on DVD and I
suspect that the subtitles didn't really captured what the characters
were saying. Unless Kurds are using 10 words for 1 English or French
one, I got robbed of a lot of the dialog. Too bad.Seen at home, in Toronto, on September 16th, 2005.80/100 (***)
