Sydney Traveling Film Festival - Opening Night

My Tehran for Sale
Director Granaz Moussavi - an Australian/Iranian film

This was a powerful film with a story that needed to be told about a generation looking for freedom. it gives an insight to a life and culture that is so far from my own. in saying that i found the film hard to follow and felt it to be quiet confusing with the constant cutting and changing of location and time. the story telling style here is very similar to that of "Slum dog Millionaire" which is one of my favorite movies and a major box office hit. i can understand why the director would chose to tell her story this way but i felt i was lost in the story line and found it very hard to follow. the movie was confrontational and left me to reflect on my own life and the freedom i have to be who i want to be and all the opportunities this country has to offer its people.
