Audience Member Not being familiar with the contemporary history of Iran, any symbolism is probably lost on me. And of course, this is a highly truncated/censored film, despite the restoration. But to be honest, I found it dull. Given the limitations they must've worked under, the rawness of the shots and performances is understandable. But I really have to wonder what critics see in dialogue that pretty much serves as philosophical arguments and lines that are completely devoid of subtlety. The only thing I liked was the absurdist humour found in the hospital where every single patient, regardless of social standing or political background, is an attempted suicide - although it begs the question, why does everyone in Iran try to off themselves in the same (and highly ineffective) way of taking pills?
