- Review
Two master filmmakers, Abba Kiarostami (A Taste of
Cherry) and Jafar
Panahi (The
Circle), team up as writer and director, respectively (as they
did on 1996's The White
Balloon), on Crimson Gold, a subtle tragedy about
class conflict in Iran. Hussein (Hossain Emadeddin) is a lumbering veteran
swollen by cortisone (for war-induced pain) and reduced to delivering
pizzas at night. (He is frequently lost in a mental semi-fog during the
days.) Witness to the rewards and vanities of the wealthy, insulted when a
jewelry shop owner won't allow him in his store, and under pressure to get
married, Hussein awkwardly aspires for higher ground but is more familiar
with a life of marginal importance. When an eccentric socialite gives him
a taste of luxury, something desperate is unleashed. Panahi brings his
feel for and vision of the expansive ordinary, for the near-invisible
forces churning within characters in seemingly throwaway circumstances. A
haunting film. --Tom Keogh
Description
Award-winning filmmaker Jafar Panahi's (The White Balloon, The Circle)
latest triumph is an intimate and absorbing drama about the ways in which
the hypocrisies and slights of daily life can push otherwise reasonable
people over the edge. Based on true events and written by acclaimed
director Abbas Kiarostami (A Taste of Cherry), CRIMSON GOLD is the story
of Hussein, a humble pizza deliveryman who feels continually humiliated by
the injustices he sees all around him. When his friend Ali finds a receipt
for a stranger's necklace purchase, Hussein is stunned by its
exceptionally high cost. He knows that his pitiful salary will never be
enough to afford such a luxury. Soon after, he and Ali are refused entry
to an uptown jewelry store because of their scruffy appearances; his rage
over this slight sets off a series of events. But Hussein will taste the
luxurious life for one night before his deep feelings of humiliation push
him over the edge. DVD extras include: 5.1, trailer, subtitle control,
weblinks, Interview with director Jafar Panahi.
