Gabbeh
Iran 1996, 75 minutes
Dir. Mohsen Makhmalbaf
In Farsi with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama
Topics: Peasantry.
Aroview: Unique combination of lyricism and social realism from one of the icons of Iranian cinema - a story of a remote struggling tribe, the tremendously comfortable rugs they weave, and the tales of romance which sustain them, all told in the uncluttered, economic style which typifies the best Iranian films.

5 stars (Exceptional) Visually intoxicating. Greatest film on handcraft design ever. Magical realism; men select colours, women distinctive patterns telling their stories & dreams. Made by nomadic Qashqai in Zagros Mts, SW Iran. Surreal, paced like music, unforgettable! ~Sandy
