Life has to suck pretty badly when you live in Iran. But if you're a blind kid
and your dad wants to be rid of you? Fuggedaboudit.
The Color of Paradise borders on hopeless, with a spiritual message available
to those who struggle through it. Unfortunately, the tale of the cursed young
Mohammed (Ramezani) is muddled by the subplot of a dying grandmother, a
familiar story of a woman trying to let go of life. Zzzzz. Sad and tragic,
with but a glimmer of hope at the end.
Oh, and as it turns out, the actual color of paradise is burnt orange. Who
knew?
Aka Rang-e khoda.
