Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
ZAMAN: THE MAN FROM THE REEDS
Zaman, l'homme des roseaux
Synopsis
A peasant from the marshlands of southern Iraq journeys in a tiny boat up the Tigris to Baghdad, seeking medicine for his sick wife. The first feature shot in Iraq in more than a decade effectively mixes lyricism with documentary-style realism, capturing the final days of life under Saddam Hussein.
