在这部樟树味，茉莉香剧情片中,伊朗资深导演巴曼·法玛纳拉被禁拍片二十年后的第一部作品
“介于伯格曼与费里尼之间”
“来自伊朗的伍迪艾伦”
获得：2001年 柏林电影节最佳亚洲电影奖
伊斯坦布尔电影节影评人奖
蒙特利尔电影节评委会奖
导演Bahman Farmanara在79年前是影坛主要人物，因为改革浪潮的拖累，不能涉足此范围，
廿年后方可拍成此片，可谓呕心沥血。本片关于存在和死的深深鼓舞的沉思。
影片自传式的讲述导演巴曼陷入死亡的困境中故事。略带政治色彩，
带出现今伊朗的不同景况。同时夹杂个人对死亡将至之恐惧。
Death surrounds Bahman, a director who hasn't made a film in 24 years (he can't get past the censors). He's working on a documentary, for Japanese TV, on Iranian burial practices. On the anniversary of his wife's death, a hitchhiker tells him a story of spousal abuse and infant mortality, he discovers that someone has been buried in his plot next to his wife, and he needs the help of his attorney, a well-connected fixer. He dreams of death, even as he investigates it for his film. His niece's husband, a well-known writer, fails to return home; he searches hospitals for an unclaimed body. His heart disease is flaring up. Is he prepared for death? Is that all that's left?
咋没人看？。
