"Pastry Girl"
2002
Directed by Iraj Tahmasb
For 20 years, Saeed has been trying to marry the
homely pastry chef Niloo, but their rivaling families have used one ploy
after another to block the marriage. Just as it appears that both clans
have finally softened, fistfights break out at the ceremony, prompting
another postponement. Iraj Tahmasb's Iranian farce skewers marriage
customs and social conventions in colorful fashion. "Full of humor and
hilarity" (Iranian Film Society). Farsi with English subtitles. 105 minutes. |
