[DVD Details]
 
 
  • From veteran Iranian director Dariush Mehrjui comes this contemporary drama about a young musician who plays the santoor, a traditional stringed instrument. His relatively liberal lifestyle comes with a catch--heroin addiction--which naturally takes tolls on him emotionally and physically and on his music and marriage. By suggesting that Iran's current cultural repression is connected to its rampant drug addition, Santouri amounts to "another sweeping yet incisive film from...one of Iran's most accomplished and courageous filmmakers" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times). Also known as Santoori, Santuri, and The Musician.
