The Buzz: "An allegorical comedy, this Iranian film follows the strange quest of four old friends as they return from a ski trip. When Sahar, Mammad, Moshen, and Jalil spot a giant rock jutting from the edge of a cliff, they become obsessed with shoving over the boulder. Repeated failures only push them to succeed, and their absurd efforts with the phallic stone begin to reveal some deeper issues."
My take: Funny times 10. It's such a treat to find comedy like this -- no tricks, no falls, no jokes, just people being people. Once again, Film Movement does not disappoint. And, at 75 minutes, it makes a very easy latenight viewing.
4/1
