Citazioni
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!

Excellent movie! Hilarious and powerful.

I had the chance of watching this excellent movie yesterday at the Montreal World Film Festival. This is the second Iranian film that I've seen (the first was 'Taste of Cherry') and I'm enchanted.

This is the story of a thief who has an extraordinary agility at climbing walls just like a lizard (Marmoulak), his escape from prison, and his redemption. To hide his identity, he becomes a mullah (Muslim religious scholar) and improvises as best as he can. The dialogs on theology and Muslim daily life are funny, yet very powerful. This excellent movie is not only a slap to the ruling clergy in Iran, but also a slap to religious fundamentalism of any faith.

The acting is very good. The 'Mullah' role is performed beautifully and the Lizard gives the Mullah the right dose of authority and charisma while remaining a very down-to-earth person. I enjoyed every minute. This is a movie that I'll be delighted to watch again.

Highly recommended. 9/10
