The Fish Fall In Love - A Review

From Beginning to End (A Summary):

The Fish Fall in Love is an Iranian film. This film here was directed by Ali Raffi'i. The film of course took place in Iran and is know as Mahiha Ham Ashegh Mishavand. The Fish Fall in Love was released in January 2007. 


This film began with the main character, Aziz, who went back to his home place in Iran. His plan of returning back to his hometown was to sell remaining family possessions. But when Aziz reaches the home of his birthplace, he finds out that his family house was already occupied and used as a restaurant by his past ex-girlfriend, Atieh, and three other ladies; one of them her daughter, Touka. All four ladies cooks and serve Aziz's plates, hoping to change his mind into not selling off the house and land. Aziz in fact does not sell the house. He left it the way it is already taken. But of course meeting up with Atieh again after so many years, their love for one another has not left the air. But then, Aziz "disappears" again, leaving the love between them unfinished but with an ending.

My Thought:


I got to say that this film sure got me hungry; hungry for some curry! It is well filmed; this film just brings the warmth of a local restaurant in any town or city.
