Movie Info

Returning from a ski trip, four middle-aged men (Mahnaz Afshar, Ahmad Hamed, Mahmoud Kalari, Reza Kianian) stop their car on a mountain road when they see a massive rock protruding from a cliff. The friends joke about how easy it would be to push the rock off the cliff, but find the task to be much more difficult than they expected. What begins as a silly idea becomes a serious mission as the men struggle to dislodge the rock by any means necessary in this existential Iranian comedy.

Sophisticated auds will enjoy this thoroughly modern spoof on masculine fixations, played out in frank, realistic dialogue.

Deborah Young
Variety
A somewhat slight film but an enjoyable and sympathetic one.

October 5, 2006 | Rating: 3/4

Michael Wilmington
Chicago Tribune
Although steeped in allegory, political or otherwise, the film is perfectly enjoyable, and quite hilarious, in its literal sense.

Christopher Campbell
Cinematical
A wonderfully offbeat comic allegory that maintains the sharpness of Kiarostami's humanist observations... the film reads persuasively as a satire of masculine idiocy.

How many Iranian skiers does it take to tear down a mountain?
