Reviews for Djomeh
An investigation, at once lucid and enigmatic, of exile, loneliness and the fragile possibility of friendship.
Hassan Yektapanah's Djomeh, from his own screenplay, continues Iranian cinema's deceptively simple yet exquisitely conducted explorations of the Iranian psyche in the context of a workaday reality.
A melancholic mediation on the constant and often elusive yearning for companionship and love, it also speaks volumes about the barbarity of cultural and religious intolerance.
[S]hows such a painterly eye for framing and composition that the story is almost superfluous to the glory of its pictures.
More realistic and much more enjoyable to watch than something packed full of professional actors (like America's Sweethearts).
Perhaps the strangest and most rewarding romance you'll see all year.
Agonizingly slow-moving and talky, it consists primarily of conversations between two men in a truck.
A modest, unpretentious film whose heartfelt humanism shines through.
This gentle and somewhat slow moving romantic fable has a quiet sweetness all its own.
A film that gives you the illusion of eavesdropping on life as it's actually lived, on people as they actually behave.
This film's painful story is one to which people from all corners of the globe can relate or at least understand.
