Well worth watching--entertaining and thoughtful

It has been over a decade since I saw this film, but I have seen it at least 2 times since it was in the theaters. It begins with a comic/tragic death within the NY city Iranian community. The film shows the young widow trying to experience NY and American culture, but trapped by her lack of English, the confines of the Iranian expat community, and by her Iranian village mentality. This film does not fit into one of our usual plots (coming of age, journey to wisdom, romantic comedy, issue drama, action), but I found it had great, darkly comic moments, a great insight into an interesting subculture, and a tragic heroine worth comparing to Euripides' Medea. Like Medea, we understand her tragic situation. We also do not approve of her choices.
