I've perused a review of that Iranian Salinger film (I can't remember the movie's
name right now) and from what I've can tell it's not the great cinematic
achievement that we all hope it is. Supposedly the movie slaughters the plot of
Franny and Zooey and turns it into little more than Islamic propaganda. Franny's
pregnancy (yes, she is pregnant in the movie) is used to show the horrors of not
being chaste...charming little changes like that. Don't get your hopes up and
don't go learning any new languages to watch it.
