| Brief Description: | Winner of the Camera d'Or and co-winner of the International Critic's
Prize at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, this Iranian breakthrough
feature tells the story of a young girl's desire for a pretty goldfish
to start her New Year's holiday. Snake charmers, a distracted dry
cleaner tailor, a lonely and talkative soldier and other assorted
adults get in the way of her goal. With a script by Abbas Kiarostami
(Life and Nothing But). "A miracle! Profound!" (Lloyd Sachs, Chicago
Sun-Times). Farsi with English subtitles. |
