At Five In The Afternoon : A Review
http://mahasweta.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 02/ 22/ at-five-in-the-afternoon-a-review/
“At Five In The Afternoon” is the second film of Samireh Makhmalbaf that I watched.I do not have much theoretical ideas about the inception of New Iranian Cinema and the ways paths they are following, Earlier I have seen “The Blackboard” by the same director, and a couple of films by her father, Mohsen Makhlambaf, including “Once Upon A Time Cinema”. I must say it was quite an experience watching the film, which evolves in the backdrop of Afghanistan in the post Taliban regime . Devastation rules ; poverty, hunger and helplessness looms large.Nogreh is a young girl in her twenties, whom her father sends to an institution which feeds young women on conservative theories of ideal womanhood.
