07/24/2020 Homework (Mashgh-e Shab) is a feature-length documentary made shortly after Where is the Friend's House?, attempting to get at the problems which the titular concern inflicts upon students and their families. The film is a series of talking-head exchanges with kids and the occasional parent. Kiarostami apparently selected an Iranian school for young boys and set up an interviewing station with a cameraman and a few lights pointed at a chair for his subjects. Kiarostami himself seems unaware of the interrogation-like scenario he's cultivated. The kids all appear to be various levels of deeply scared, traumatized, and just plain intimidated by the dark room, the hot lights, and this stern director in dark sunglasses asking them questions. One comes away from Homework rather depressed and concerned about the effects that their school's educational model has had on these children now that they've presumably reached adulthood.

All I remember is that I never wrote any homeworks! See more 08/28/2008 Be bahaneye mashghe shab, raabeteye vaaledin va bache haye madresseyi dar Iran. Shahkaar. See more 07/15/2008 A sensational event in Iranian cinema which affected the eductaional system fundamentally! However it was mainly criticized for the director's SS methods in interrogating Iranian children inside the country, it marked that the goals could justify the means so easily!
