Beautiful City

I have just read this: "The English subtitles are always legible, turning from white to yellow against light backgrounds." -- I didn't spot this, but I am now inclined to love the film.

Repetitive. Less gripping and much less accessible than Farhardi later works.

Octubre? 2016 - Interessant situació. Està bé seguir el suplici dels personatges i veure com es torturen per intentar fer el bé. No vaig acabar d'entendre el motiu de la mort. I el final semblava forá obert.

In the interest of full disclosure, I had to brave crappy subtitles to watch this, because I couldn't find a better copy. Keeping that in mind, it was still hard to consider this on par with Farhadi's later works, although his interest in tortuous moral conflict is already apparent. It is also his most courageous film politically speaking, because it discusses the patriarchal and violent nature of Islamist Iran's judicial system.

Another great movie by Asghar Farhadi

1040: wow! what a great bitter drama! i cry twice!

"Persistence is everything in Asghar Farhadi's visually undistinguished but affecting Beautiful City, a simple film about the power of forgiveness." - Ed Gonzalez
