Deserted Station
Iran, 88 minutes, 35mm, Color, 2002, In Farsi with English Subtitles
Based on a concept the director and Abbas Kiarostami developed on a photography trip together, a man and a young woman (Leila Hatami of Leila) are stranded in a remote village after their car breaks down. The photographer and the sole adult male inhabitant, a schoolteacher, leave to get help while the young woman, herself childless, bonds with the children whose parents are nowhere to be found.

WEST COAST PREMIERE. Nightly at 6:00, 8:00, and 10:00. Wed, Sat, Sun matinees at (2:00) and 4:00. PLEASE NOTE: NO 8:00pm SHOW JULY 6

“(Its) compelling underlying oddness may be enough to distinguish ‘Deserted Station’ from similarly excellent humanistic Iranian fare, and Leila Hatami's delicate beauty and nuanced performance (for which she was duly awarded in Montreal) certainly won't hurt … uniformly excellent.” - Variety
