NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Kirpianuscus a trip. or a spiritual film. or just inspired translation on screen of the Sufi mystic. a beautiful film. or the wise translation of the miracle of life. each of this senses is real.because the film could be an aesthetic delight, remember of old fairy tale from Orient or seductive meet with the meanings of near challenges, using answers from a long and powerful tradition. it is one of films who must see twice. for the story and its senses but, in same measure, for the spell of images , for the portrait of old dervish and his granddaughter, remembering the painting of Domenico Ghirlandaio, Portrait of an old man and his grandson. a film about life and its purpose. like a long travel. or, like a long dream about yourself.

magus-4 Weird thing: in the middle of the movie David Lynch appeared in my mind's eye. I don't know why he popped into my head but he did. I must have connected the styles intuitively. The mix of story lines, the impressive and sometimes deeply moving shots, the way it gets under your skin. And like David Lynch movies, it's a bad idea to watch this picture using your head. There's another link I think. Lynch is deeply into awareness techniques. He's been doing TM most of his life. Just surrender to its flow of images, lyrics (I can hardly call this text) and music. You might end up with some miraculous insights (or reminded of them)

Pierre Radulescu Images are of a haunting beauty: the immensity of the desert, the rare trees, birds, rocks trying to make their life there, the sudden oasis with houses made of clay, the paradox of ghost houses surrounded by myriads of people, the mosque, unexpected and weird, like the church from Tarkovski's Stalker.The music is great, and makes the movie a ballad: it is like the songs make the statement and images and dialog just emphasize. Of course songs are not translated, but give you the mood.It is not easy at all to follow the story: it comes from a very different culture, with its own rhythms, its own poetry, its own logical connections. For us it is like floating in plain paradox.For those who haven't seen it yet, think at the movies of Parajanov. It is not an easy movie, but if you overcome the difficulties, you'll get the incomparable beauty of the story.There are moments that do not come often to us - we should be prepared for them. Encounter with love, with death. Death as the way to enter the great realm that we lost at birth.And the granddaughter, learning this lesson of life on the way, along with us, who are watching the movie and follow her journey.Great movie!

Pejhman Rahimi Although there are moments when the movie may seem to progress slowly; nonetheless it kept the audience at the cinema glued to their seats. I went to watch the movie twice. It did not attract huge audiences; which in great part may be due to its lack of adequate advertising; but those few who did come to see the movie were glued to their seats. The movie has two great features. One is the soul stirring choice of music and its perfect adaptation to the scenes. Secondly, the movie successfully achieves the difficult undertaking of introducing and explaining in graphic terms and with simple stories the almost exclusively Oriental world of mysticism. The setting might not reflect the physical or material reality of the East, but it definitely does add to the magic and facilitates the viewer's transit from the material world outside to the spiritual world within. Highly recommended.
