Az pase borghe (2004)
Worth the watching.
This is a difficult film to watch. It is not the best subtitled, as I saw it, and a lot of what we saw, as Americans, was not understood, but the status of women in Iran as shown is well worth the watching. I had to go to the net to understand the details, and yet ... and yet ... this is well worth watching to see what the status of women in Islam may be. I have never see those masks on women before, and it appalled me.
I understand the guidelines of the site on lines of comment, and my comment is not that long, and yet as I write it there is not more to add to make it useful to others who may look at this.

A few items from the DVD
The DVD contained an addition about making of the movie. A few items of interest - the main characters were of different language groups and could not in fact communicate as the film was made - the woman Czech I think, the man Hungarian. The film took aver a year to film, so that the change of seasons could be shown and so that the young characters, so important to the film in general, could believably age. The actors ranged in age from 6 days - the birth scene - to 92 - the old woman in the early scene when the Resistance drop failed I think.
My wife's comment that it reminded her of Cold Mountain rings true, as others have noted.
