The Boot, Saturday 17 May GFT
The Boot
- Saturday 17 May
- GFT, 12 Rose Street
A little girl, Samaneh, pesters her mother to buy her red boots, then loses one, then tries to find it. The story is fairy-tale simple, but the emotions swell, like in Bicycle Thieves. Director Mohammad-Ali Talebi had been working with children for years, and it shows. He makes Samaneh one of the most vivid characters in the movies. The Boot is a brilliant introduction to his world.
Screening as part of The Cinema of Childhood season.
