A Film by Alireza Raisian (Written by Kamboozia Partovi)
In this lyrical and intimately nuanced story conceived by Abbas Kiarostami
and starring Leila Hatami (from Dariush Mehrjui's Leila), a
photographer and his young wife are stranded in a remote Iranian village after
their car breaks down. The only adult inhabitant leaves with the photographer
to find help, while the woman takes over the duties of teaching the village
children - whose parents are nowhere to be found.
“A delightful performance by Leila Hatami. PUT DESERTED STATION ON YOUR
MUST-SEE LIST!” – NEW YORK POST
“Both intensely thoughtful and wonderful to look at.”
– THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“Unearthly beauty... Kiarostami’s signature themes are abundant.”
– VILLAGE VOICE
“Gorgeous! A journey well worth taking.”– SF WEEKLY
“A valuable addition to a ‘literature’ whose characteristics are now
internationally well-established.” – NEW YORK TIMES
“For filmgoers who like dramas that are spare yet evocative, that focus on
the subtleties of relationships, and that feature foreign settings completely
off the beaten path, DESERTED STATION will be a masterpiece.” – SAN
FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
