Although this new world of sight and color floods Youssef with ecstasy, it also plunges him into a labyrinth of confusions and temptations. A pretty student begins to eclipse his dowdy, previously invisible wife. In one disturbing scene, he silently watches a subway pickpocket, who fixes him with a look of withering complicity. Eager to claim the lost life he feels he is owed but unable to take the next step, Youssef is inflamed with possibility and paralyzed with egoism.

    Very nice performances. Sad tale of one man blind since he was a boy, who is now an English professor and is seemingly happily married with a lovely little girl. One day when his sight is suddenly restored his perception of his life changes, and not for the better. Seeing with one's soul instead of one's eyes is what this is all about. Didn't care much for the ending but overall very nice film.

    Loved this film. The shots are done with massive impact, the simplicity, but the immenseness of each shot was brilliant. You could well up your eyes easily within the first twenty or half hour. I've always loved Iranian films and this one really made my day. A stunningly minimalist film, where a lot of thing are not shown and only those which guide the story was brought out.
