Talaye sorkh (2003)

Crimson Gold is the first film I have seen of director Jafar Panahi, but the writer is Abbas Kiarostami. This may be blasphemy, but I might be getting tired of movies-without-stories nature of Iranian movies. The movie is well made and the lead actor Hossain Emadeddin is very good. He is supposed to be a very likable chracter, but I didn't find him particularly so. I am not clear why a frail looking rich guy would invite a BIG pizaa delivery man to inside his palatial apartment to share dinner. Maybe these things happen.

Maybe need for a while to see movies that have a beginning, a middle and an end.
