Review of The Apple (1998) by Mattias E — 28 Oct 2009
Samira Makhmalbaf's debut feature Sib, a staged documentary with authentic persons instead of professional actors, is one of the most daring and wildly creative cinematic productions ever to be shot on left-over filmstock.
Since things basically just seem to happen right before you in real time, Sib becomes virtually impervious to any sort of critical judgement. The same could also be said of the real people involved in this bizarre incident.
No one actually plays the villain here, except perhaps for the society that creates situations like this, which is exactly the point of this original movie.
