Review of Baran (2001) by Dr. A — 27 Feb 2008
Yet again, Majid Majidi takes us in another journey into the realms of empathy and understanding through metaphor and realism. Seldom do we encounter ourselves embdied in the celluloid character as we do in the at first outspoken lateef and the wordless Baran.
Film packed with subtle elements of meaning in a gray world in which we brief encounters of the imporatnce of color detaches our comfort zone into domains of reason and capacity to distinguishing solitude and loneliness.
By the way, if Bamiyan does not ring a bell, it's the region where the giant Buddhas where destroyed by the taliban, hence Baran and family are from the area.
