Nick Davis Nick's Flick Picks This side of Makhmalbaf is exhilarating at its best but still feels essential at its petulant and shapeless worst. Rated: C+ Apr 4, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member If you are interested in India, philosophy, spirituality, or beautiful cinematography this movie is a must see. If you are not fussed about any of those things you would probably find it a little wierd. Although there are a lot of enlightening discussions about faith and religion. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member That is one of the best (terrific) movies which had been watched by me. Really this shows an internal big challenge which almost of the religions try to solve & fix for humanity. So there would be too much answers in this regard but who can have a complete reply to mentioned challenge by this movie. Up with to Mr. Makhmalbaf by this art and I hope to see more works by him in this matter. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It seems to the director tries to demonstrate if not ridiculousness then at least dubious nature of the spiritual search that some foreigners pursue in India. He even found some good artistic forms to express it. But overall it is one of those art-house movies where you sort of see what the director tries to say but the ways he chooses to say it often curb the message Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Il film narra le avventure filosofico-esistenziali-reali di una coppia di giovani iraniani partiti alla ricerca dell'uomo "perfetto", su consiglio di un maestro di meditazione. L'impatto con la realtà indiana li renderà vulnerabili psichicamente, fino all'incontro con un tedesco trapiantatosi volontariamente a vivere a Varanasi (Benares) e alle visioni dei fedeli hindu sulle sponde del Gange, delle cremazioni, dei sadhu, dei bambini, degli animali.[it.wikipedia.org] Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member So mentally and so artistic movie made by Mohsen Makhmalbaf.This movie nicely poses to you a conflicts of metaphysics and existence of God.I reallt enjoyed watching this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Its about the battle of sprituallity and materilistic thoughts between a young couple who travel to India to discover the route of spritual ideas.Its Directed by one of the best Iranian directors.
