5.0 out of 5 stars Makhmalbaf will mesmerize you...., April 10, 2000
By Shiela K. (NY USA) - See all my reviews
Once Upon a Time, Cinema is one of the best Iranian movies I have seen to date. Montages of old Iranian movies are beautifully incorporated into the main story giving it a very surreal yet nostalgic effect. I found the story to be similar in concept as movies like "The Purple Rose of Cairo" and "Cinema Paradiso" where the line between reality and dream is sometimes unrecognizable and the magnetizm of the silver screen can make you believe anything. Mohsen Makhmalbaf is an amazing director.
