Review of Shirin (2009) by Aephraim S — 08 Aug 2012
Incredible idea for a movie. Watched the first 10 minutes, which probably sufficed - this is one of those brilliant projects that I think might function as well as a review by Borges of a nonexistent movie as as a movie.
Of course, understanding Persian instead of having to read subtitles would undoubtedly change the experience, and I suppose if the story is one every one in the intended audience already knows, that changes things entirely.
Wish I could be Persian, to appreciate it the way it was intended; next-best option would be a "cultural translation," but I don't even want to think about what that would be for American culture.
