The Film: "Children of Heaven"
Director: Majid Majidi (Iran)
http://www.stanford.edu/group/MSAN/
This tender and loving story is about a brother and sister whose life is
still sweet in spite of economic hardship. As the brother loses his sister
shoes, the two of them come up with a creative solution to replace them.
"Children of Heaven is fraught with delicious irony, and the unaffected
performances from its sad-eyed pair of non-actors in lead roles lend the
film its understated poetry." - Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
This delightful, heartwarming tale from Iran is beautiful in its simplicity
and deeply in touch with the feelings and insecurities of childhood.
When a young boy loses his sister's only pair of shoes, they hatch a plan to
share his shoes and keep his negligence a secret from their parents. This is
the first Iranian film ever to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best
Foreign Language Film.
Awards: Academy Award Nominee Best Foreign Film (1999); Winner Best Picture,
Montreal Film Festival (1997); Winner Best Director & Best Screenplay, Fadjr
15th Film Festival.
