 Will et al.,

Yes it is an Iranian film. I used to date an Iranian man and he brought
back a copy of the film for me from France (apparantly they are one of the
few nations that still trades with Iran, sort of like their refusal to give
up smoking indoors everywhere). Unfortunately durning the transition to VHS
the end of the film was cut off. So I have seen probably a little over half
of the film.

Below is my post from November of 1998:

I have only a partial copy of Pari. It was taped from a European tape onto a
US tape (neither of high quality, I must add) and apparently the lengths are
different, leaving me hanging right at the part where Seymour begins to
ramble about the Sun-Fish (an interpretation of the bananafish). However, I
liked what I saw of the film. I don't believe that it could have been done
in the US with quite the level of *honesty?*. I mean without the creator's
feelings about the story getting all mixed up and muddling the film. The
cultural differences enabled me to see the story without feeling it violated
the story (as Hollywood no doubt would have done). As a side note: has
anyone on the list seen the Iranian film 'A Taste of Cherry'? The search for
suicide made me reevaluate in my mind my own musings on Seymour's reasoning.
(Not to get that discussion started again!) :)

  Just my impressions,

Jim and Ted, I remember researching this on the web and learning that
"Pari" was made in Iran but I haven't seen it or know anyone who has,
will
