Avaze gonjeshk-ha (Song of Sparrows)

Made in Iran; spoken in Persian with English subtitles; this powerful story is simple but sublime. Anyone who has ever lost a job should relate to this main character. Any father of a family should as well. And anyone who has enjoyed simple life in the country should get the metaphors.

Mohammad Amir Naji is brilliant. His comic timing is great. His character shows a range of emotions which is both real and touching.

This movie is about a guy who loses his job in the country and while in the city stumbles on a new way to make money for his family. His new enterprise changes him. Traps him.

Watch this movie with who may not totally appreciate their situation.
