The White Balloon
بادکنک سفید (original)
Jafar Panahi’s revelatory debut feature is a child’s-eye adventure in which a young girl’s quest to buy a goldfish leads her on a detour-filled journey through the streets of Tehran on the eve of the Iranian New Year celebration. Cowritten by Panahi with his mentor Abbas Kiarostami, this beguiling, prizewinning fable unfolds in documentary-like real time as it wrings unexpected comedy, suspense, and wonder from its seemingly simple premise.
Starring Aida Mohammadkhani, Mohsen Kafili, Fereshteh Sadr Orafaee, Anna Borkowska, Mohammad Shahani
