Avaze gonjeshk-ha (The Song of Sparrows) (2008) A man is faced with new challenges after losing his job on an ostrich farm and must venture out from his rural village to Tehran in order to make a living and restore harmony to his family life. This is outstanding World Cinema from Iranian director Majid Majidi. Told with humour and heart, we struggle along with a man who will never get a break in life - loses his sense of direction - but finds redemption through the people close to him. A beautifully shot film that will give you an unexpected insight into the values and community of modern Iran and the coexistence of urban and rural life. Essential
