A Pure piece of poetry...

It is not bulky classic novels but little short stories of literature which remains in your memory long-lasting once you finished it. Majidi's films are like simple beautiful piece of art, it's same as reading Oscar Wilde or O Henry's classic short stories. He knows very well where to mark underline & where to put ellipsis in a film. Set in Iran, it tells the story of an afghani refugee working father whose leg injury threatens his family's future. A child of his starts working on behalf of his father at construction site. A young co-worker named Lateef's burning hate towards child transformed by a surprising discovery that a child is a young woman in disguise. For the first time in his life, he's in love. He keeps the secret to his heart & helps her with utter unconditional devotion that will change the whole dynamics of his life. Well it's more difficult to make a simple artistic film than making a complex piece of art & its Simplicity & portrayal of natural emotions in his films which is striking the right chords. Silence of the girl is the most felt part of the film. And what a poetic end- the last foot print impression of the girl in his life, that even rain can't wash it away.A beautiful piece of art.Do I have to say Must Watch? Ratings-9.5/10

Simple, Human, Beautiful, Touching, Sensitive, IrresistibleÂ… A Wonderful Love Story

In Iran, when the illegal Afghan worker Najaf (Gholam Ali Bakhshi) breaks his foot in an accident in a construction of a building, his fragile son Rahmat becomes his replacement. The master Memar (Mohammad Amir Naji) makes Rahmat responsible for feeding the worker, and brings the young Lattef (Hossein Abedini), who was responsible for this task, to the heavy work. Latted becomes jealous of Rahmat, and spends a cruel treatment to him. However, when Lateef finds that Rahmar is indeed a girl called Baran (Zahra Bahrami), he falls in love for her and spends all his savings and gives his best efforts to protect her family and her."Baran" is a simple, human, beautiful, touching, irresistible wonderful love story. Exposing the situation of the explored Afghans refugees in Iran, after the Soviet invasion, their civil war and the Taliban regime, this movie also gives a lesson of humanity, sympathy and generosity. The actors and actresses have very realistic performances, showing an excellent direction and the character Baran does not speak any word along the story, using only her facial expression to disclose her inner feelings. And the sacrifice of Lateef to please the family of "Baran" shows the essence of a pure and platonic love. The arid and cold landscape completes the scenario of this gem. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Baran"
