Children of Heaven (1997)

Posted on 10:23 by john cena
Highly Recommended
Iran
Feature Film

Original Title: بچه های آسمان
Writer/Director: Majid Majidi
Cinematographer: Parviz Malekzaade
Composer: Keivan Jahanshahi
Cast: Mir Farrokh Hashemian, Bahare Seddiqi, Amir Naji, Fereshte Sarabandi, Nafise Jafar-Mohammadi

Majidi’s heart-warming film, encompassing cute children, dire poverty, lost shoes, and some rather improbable and nonsensical plotting, somehow manages to avoid the sentimentality that such a tale would normally embrace, and instead comes across as an ode to love, kindness, and determination that, against all the odds, is beautifully moving rather than painfully corny.
