"Color of Paradise"
1999
Directed by Majid Majidi

A blind boy, whose father sees him as a burden, struggles to adjust when he is forced to leave a school for the blind and becomes an apprentice to a carpenter. "...draws your deepest emotions with the simplest of stories...in the tradition of similarly affecting films about childhood suffering, including Francois Truffaut's The 400 Blows and Robert Bresson's Mouchette" (Desson Howe, Washington Post). Farsi with English subtitles.  91 minutes.
