Director Mohsen Makhmalbaf based this Iranian drama on his own life experiences, specifically centering the story around an altercation he had with a policeman as a 17-year-old. Makhmalbaf stabbed the policeman and was jailed. But two decades after his release, the director chose to revisit his memories of the time, and decided to track down the policeman, make amends, and film a dramatization of the story as it unfolded. It adds up to a compelling piece of filmmaking, and a touching human-interest story that lingers long in the memory after the credits roll. [More]

4/5

Discarding his violent past, [Makhmalbaf presents a] 1974 event as something unthinkable to a younger generation and arrives at a truly poetic, thoroughly optimistic conclusion.

Makhmalbaf's Chinese puzzle box structure matches the heft of his collective memory.

Resonates heavy with the Proustian understanding of how memories only amplify and enrich with time.
