i haven't actually seen it, but *apparently* it's done from an iranian
cultural point of view. i think that this is a good thing, because it
would add new angles that aren't in the original text, and avoid other
issues. makes it less redundant than a direct book-to-movie translation.
this is all hearsay though. i vaguely recall *somebody* claiming to
have seen it, but i can't remember the details!
