Bashu, the Little Stranger (Great Restorations)
Introduction to the film Bashu, the Little Stranger.
After his family is killed in a bombing, young Bashu flees southern Iran alone and arrives in a remote northern village. Unable to speak the local language and shunned as a little stranger, he is taken in by a mother of two whose husband is away. A fragile bond slowly begins to grow between them.
“A vital cinematic masterpiece. A reminder that art at any time, in any place, awakens human consciousness and shows us humane paths through friendship, coexistence, and peace.” (Jafar Panahi)
“Four decades later, one can see more clearly than ever how Beyzaie transforms the cinema screen into a window carved from the history and literature of Iran, opening it onto a beautiful and spectacular world.” (Mohammad Rasoulof)
“A pure joy in which there are absolutely no false moves.” (Los Angeles Times)
