Avaze gonjeshk-ha (The Song of Sparrows) (2008)

Director:   Majid Majidi
Writers:    Majid Majidi, Mehran Kashani
Language: Persian
Karim, played by Mohammad Amir Naji, is an ostrich rancher who is trying to replace his daughter's hearing aid just before her exams. He gets fired from the farm when one of the ostrich assigned to him escapes. When he visits Tehran he finds a way to earn money by using his bike for ferrying people. Film looks at how this changes Karim in his personal life. Basically film is a comparison between city and village lives in a very  unsubtle way. Film is very well acted and especially because of that its a great film.

Rating: 4/5
