ALMOST LIKE BEING THERE,
By D. Shearer (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A World Between (DVD)
"A World Between" (Jason Rezaian and Nazam Manouchehri)is an extraordinarily well done video about the young son (Jason) of an Iranian-American father and an American mother who travels throughout Iran to discover a world he had only previously known through his father's stories. There is genuine poignancy in the narrative as the viewer watches Jason's reunion with his father's relatives or witnesses his father well up with emotion upon visiting the house he grew up in, now in ruins. But the video's forte is in the masterful way the photographer follows Jason through the streets of Tehran, or Esfahan, or Mashad, evoking a sensation of being "really there" in a way rarely achieved in more formal documentaries. It is visually striking throughout and beautifully paced. It is also enlightening, perhaps especially when the viewer observes Jason's thoughtful and unassuming personality engage the interest of ordinary Iranians who are captivated by (and curious about)his American heritage. This is the film I show to my anthropology classes when I want to provide students with a realistic, down-to-earth depiction of the historical beauty of Iran and the complexity of its inhabitants.

Great Look Inside Iran,
By
This review is from: A World Between (DVD)
I saw this movie recently and thought it was great. It gives you a look inside everyday Iran, which is not something you get to see from American media. For anyone that follows American-Middle East politics, this movie really is a must see. The movie does not have any political agenda, but it will give you a great deal of perspective about the Iranian culture, whether you are conservative, moderate or liberal.
Additionally it has some amazing shots of Tehran and other cities.

Accidentally Great to Watch,
By The Archer (Saint Paul, MN) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A World Between (Amazon Instant Video)
A schlubby, dull, spoiled American goes to Iran to get in touch with the Iranian half of his roots and accidentally makes a film worth watching. This film gives a realistic, unromanticized and undemonized view of normal life in Iran. The people he interacts with are awesome, despite his lack of effort to speak their language or engage in the culture (his first question is often "Engelesi baladid?" - Do you speak English?). Funny, beautiful - filmed the way a visitor would be likely to see it. Loved it.
