Rhino Season

COMING SOON: Bahman Ghobadi's Rhino Season (Turkey, 2012) - Bahman Ghobadi’s first non-Iranian film takes him one step further away from the basically realistic, even if essentially poetic, approach of his earlier films. A tragic love story, a fierce indictment against the Islamist regime in Tehran, but most of all, a lyrical elegy replete with symbolical visions accompanying the poems on the soundtrack, Rhino Season (False Kargadan) is a natural for film festivals, though an award or two could certainly help it through to a respectable art house distribution. 2012SANSic, 2012TOR.
