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. 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,
Amber

Subject: movie
Thinking about Salinger and movies I went to the Internet Movie Data
Base
and found one picture that is supposed to be based on Franny and Zooey.
It's an Iranian picture called Pari, filmed in 1995. Has anybody seen
it?
