The music editor saw this flick last week, enjoyed it immensely. It is the tale of a young lady of the 1970's fleeing tyranny in Iran only to find ennui in France. My favorite scene was the juxtaposition of the horrible burka-ed Persian teachers and the horrible Austrian nuns that provided just a little taste of how close--and how horrible!--east and west can be. This piece is only an extract and it's really barely worthy of your local Karaoke bar but it has spirit and a healthy dose of cognitive dissonance.
