this film be be describe a a comedy and but it wasn not a comedy at all . like any panahi film and it be a very realistic drama depict the common thread of social inequity and hypocrisy . but it be very funny while much light than the director dark and serious the circle ( my favourite iranian film ) . the resourcefulness of the girl and the banter between them and the soldier be both completely believable ( a if it be a documentary ) and completely hilarious . the film the actual match and aftermath be astonish . it add a realism much like australia kenny and of course a very different film . the performance from all the non professional actor soldier and girl be very credible . it be very move to see the passion and disappointment and excitement of these girl . anyone in this country who think muslim girl wear a chador be any different to their own daughter should go see this film it will be a real eye opener . to me and the soldier represent the current paradigm . they start out with stock standard official policy response to all the plea of the girl . a the film progress and they find it more and more difficult to maintain this stance . when what seem like all of teheran break out into wild celebration and everyone be catch up in it and and the ridiculousness of the current policy be obvious to one and all . it be a very moving and unexpected end and and give the film a really nice blend of emotion and frivolity and drama and social commentary . though it adult cinema and i think mature mind child from about seven onwards would really appreciate this film ( as long a they can read subtitle ) . it be remarkable that a repressive country like iran be able to produce film of such quality by the like of panahi and kiarostami . perhaps the constraint there force director to be extremely resourceful . australian ( and other ) film maker could take a leaf out of their book .
