Review of Unveiled (2005) by Jae K — 05 Jul 2009
Sure the film has some plot holes but what gets my attention is how well fariba's loneliness is explored and unveiled; which distinguishes it from most outsider character movies and makes this different from "boys don't cry.
" in the hillary swank movie, fear is underlined. "unveiled" exudes a different shade of desperation that is universally relatable and hence realistic. this also means then that i'm not too sure if this is really more of a gay movie as much as a film about an outsider in general.
fariba is a misfit in any society by being gay, a minority for being female in a muslim society, and a foreigner in Germany. with all these barriers as a premise, you've got to wonder what motivates fariba to hold on.
cuz siamak didn't.
