I cannot accept that this is a dull film. Instead, I found it is an excellent one, even better than Samira Makhmalbaf's "At Five in the Afternoon" and Peter Mullen's "Madeleine Sisters". The filmmaker express the evil of fundamentalism only in a very subtle manner, but when the story developed, the audience would follow the executioner, who was a follower in the film, to question the fundamentalism. And the 12 minutes long take in the opening is wonderful too!
