Review of Leila

Leila (I) (1997)
9/10
Brilliant, heartbreaking
22 September 2001
Most Iranian movies I've seen so far seem to deal with simple emotions among poor people (e.g. boy looking for friend's house in the next village to return notebook). Leila's characters, freed from the struggle for survival, display a full range of human emotions and complexities. Brilliantly acted, scripted, edited.
