So what is the color of paradise?

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2006
The Bottom Line: Though it may not please everyone, it is a simple movie with deeper undertones that most can appreciate. Kind of like a lazy summer day with rain on the horizon.
Review: Suddenly I find myself in Iran, and I'm going to be there for three weeks. No, not the actual country – in my film class! You silly people. Iran has a rich history concerning film, something I never would have guessed. I suppose that makes me an...

A Paradise of Color, Compassion and Sound.

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2000
Review: You may find it difficult to rent a quiet, deceptively simple film about a few months in the life of a blind boy?but overcome your resistance and treat yourself to one of the finest films of the year.. A gem. And one of the most beautiful looking...

Beautifully Heartbreaking

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: Another heartbreaking film about children from Majid Majidi, that recalls de Sica and Ray.
Review: In 'The Color of Paradise' ('Rang-e khoda', 1999), we first notice Mohammad only when he's left all alone at the school entrance, still waiting for his father to pick him up. Mohammad is perhaps eight or nine years old, is a very bright and curious...

These people seemed real and made me cry

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: A mountain village of splendiferous colors, a blind boy of brilliance and sensitivy, a bitter and suffering father, loving sisters, devoted grandmother, fantastic emotions
Review: I have met Iranian immigrants here in the San Francisco Bay Area, drawn to them for some inexplicable force emanating out of them. They seem far above Americans in perceptiveness and sensitivity to others. It is in meeting them here that I found...

Haunting, Heartbreaking Iranian Film

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2000
Review: Majid Majidi's "Children of Heaven," about two children who share the same well-worn pair of sneakers, received an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film of 1998, yet it never had a national release. However, this new entry by the Iranian film-maker...

The Color of Paradise

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: Definitely a great example of Iranian cinema. Another good choice is Majid Majidi's The Children of Heaven.
Review: The Colour of Paradise is living proof that not every filmmaker from Iran is a pretentious bore. I have to say that because my memory of Abbas Kiorostami?s Where is the Friend?s Home is only somewhat deluded from the time that I actually watched the...

Colorless

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2000
Review: Readers of this page know that I am a rabid fan of Iranian cinema. Most of the Iranian films I?ve seen so far have all been privileged moments for me--moments in time that have changed my life. Majid Majidi?s ?The Color of Paradise? (originally...

"Color" Commentary

Date of Review:  May 8, 2002
The Bottom Line: A noble effort, beautifully photographed and rich in detail, that fails to add up.
Review: The sharp reds, stirring yellows and thick blues thrive on the screen in Majid Majidi's "The Color of Paradise."

The hills are truly alive underneath the children's feet, as they skim through the trembling fields.

The problem...

Not 'Paradise', but often colorful enough

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2000
Review: Like his crowdpleasing Children of Heaven, the latest from Iranian writer-director Majid Majidi is also a tribute to the spirit and innocence of a child. Here, the subject is a smart blind boy named Mohammed (Mohsen Ramezani, superb), who is...

The Color of Paradise is a lovely, sad, but hopeful film!

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: For a visually beautiful, sad but touching view of a blind boys struggle and how he teaches his father to love, see this wonderful movie!
Review: The movie was in Persian with English subtitles but the story could have been in any language as themes and visuals will speak to you in whispers and shouts. In our universal language there is love, strength, anguish, shame, overcoming adversity...
