About
"[Gabbeh, a] poetic film that celebrates the beauty of nature, love, life and the end of life, […] remains one Makhmalbaf’s best films and is now considered a classical work of Iranian poetic cinema. The collaboration of a superb cinematographer (Mahmoud Kelari), an outstanding musician (Hossein Alizadeh) and a filmmaker who eventually found his niche in the poetic realist tradition of Iranian cinema made Gabbeh an impressive art-house film to be viewed, remembered, and re-examined for many generations to come. The film is a meditative and peaceful treat that delves into a narrative of life. It invites the viewer to savour moments of everyday activities among the nomads, and to relish the picturesque nature in unravelled mini stories rather than leading the filmgoer to a sensational ending of a mega-narrative."
