A wonderful neo-realist film from Majid Majidi, the Iranian who also did “The Color of Paradise”. This is a superb and sad film about a young man, Lateef, and the construction site he works on. Afghan refugees are used and abused as cheap and illegal workers at the site. When one is injured, his daughter (masquerading as a boy) comes to work to support the family. She eventually takes Lateef’s easy helper job. When he learns of the deception, however, he becomes smitten with her and tries to help the family. His actions, however, all have paradoxical consequences. The film looks at the non-political side of Iran and probes its use of refugee labor. There is no melodrama in this film. It is slow, stately, and very sad. Very much worth watching, but be awake when you do so, as its pace is slow and its topic commonplace. Both B+ and I really liked the movie. See this one!
