The Song of Sparrows

2008 · 96 min Drama
7.5 / 10 · TMDB

When an ostrich-rancher focuses on replacing his daughter's hearing aid, which breaks right before crucial exams, everything changes for a struggling rural family in Iran. Karim motorbikes into a world alien to him - incredibly hectic Tehran, where sudden opportunities for independence, thrill and challenge him. But his honor and honesty, plus traditional authority over his inventive clan, are tested, as he stumbles among vast cultural and economic gaps between his village nestled in the desert, and a throbbing international metropolis.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film doesn't rush. It trusts the viewer — gives time to inhabit the characters, understand what's really happening. Direction here serves the actors rather than overwhelming them.

This film doesn't entertain — it speaks. If you're ready for that, it'll leave a mark. If not — it'll seem slow.

A good choice for those who value subtle direction and honest performance.

Director: Majid Majidi
