FIREWORKS WEDNESDAY

Another great Iranian marital drama. Reminded me of Hitchcock in a way. There is some real masterful film-making here, despite the fact that the movie is noisy as hell, this being a day in Iran where they celebrate with fireworks all. day. long. So while the story is unfolding in this ugly tall apartment building, all you hear is BANG BOOM BANG from kids playing with firecrackers all over the city outside. Great plot twist at end, wholly expected though it was.

SCORE: 77.
