Unlike in his earlier socially critical films, in this mythical story of a great love Mohsen Makhmalbaf immersed himself in the tradition of Persian poetry, storytelling and carpet weaving. Based on them he created a stunning visual poem full of heady, colourful scenes celebrating the Iranian landscape. (Summer Film School)
