Mojtaba: Haji,in North Pole we have six months of nights and six months of days. How can we say our day and night prayers over there?
Reza Marmoulak: You look at me as if you have a bus ticket for the North Pole and you want to leave right now!
Reza Marmoulak: Actually, there are differences among the clergy over this issue. Some of them believe that we Muslims should never go tho North Pole because we are used to warm climates and the cold weather will bother us. So why should we go to a place where we might freeze to death?
Mojtaba: Then, if a war breaks out between the Muslims and North Pole what would happen to a Muslim who might be taken captive?
Reza Marmoulak: Yes!Actually this is what the other clergy say that all the prayers that you say during the six months of night will be considered as night prayers and so screw the North Pole.You better say your prayers according to the local time of your own country.
Mojtaba: Haji, Then if we take that...
Reza Marmoulak: Case closed.You better eat your yoghurt!

My Favorite Iranian Film Yet

Just saw this film at its American debut (?) at the Neptune Theater as part of the Seattle Int'l Film Festival. Marmoulak (The Lizard) is a heartwarming and saddening tale about a man on the run who disguises himself as a Mullah while trying to sneak across the border to get out of Iran. A comedic satire in the tradition of La Ley de Herodes, Marmoulak is full of gentle humanist irony which becomes sadly evident but never too overt. Parvis Parastui gives an outstanding performance in the lead, and all the supporting roles are also acted at a highly competent level. The story and cinematography are quite professional as well. After a very successful run, Marmoulak was banned in Iran as sacrilegious. It's definitely worth checking out. Every American who thinks about the nuclear option when the Middle East is discussed should certainly be forced to watch this film.
