"Marooned in Iraq"
2002
Directed by Bahman Ghobadi
In
the wake of the Persian Gulf War, an elderly Kurdish singer becomes
concerned about the safety of his former wife and sets out with his two sons
to find her, regardless of the fact that she left him two decades prior for
another man. This smart combination of humor and social criticism from
Iranian director Bahman Ghobadi examines both the beauty and humor in
kinship and the devastating affects of war. Screened at the 2002 Cannes Film
Festival. Kurdish with English subtitles. 110 minutes.
