fabulist and dean of Iranian Kurdish cinema, leads another magical mystery tour through his mountainous homeland— populated, per usual, by a small army of cute urchins, irascible wives, and garrulously self-important old goats. One of the latter, a renowned Kurdish musician named Mamo, visits a village where 1,334 women singers have been exiled and attempts to smuggle one into Iraq for a concert with him and his 10 sons. The music is, as cinema maestros as Alexandr Dovzhenko and Sergei Parajanov" The film won also the Amnesty award at the Portugal IndeLisboa festival las week Copywright: KurdishCinema.com |
