SUMMARY:COLOUR OF PARADISE: Screen Wood Green Film Society
DESCRIPTION:FRIDAY 17 AUGUST\nTIME: 7.00PM\nFilm:-COLOUR OF PARADISE\n
 Directed by Majid Majidi\nThis award-winning film from Iran has, like 
 most films from that country, an ability to immerse itself in an impre
 ssive credibility and in the texture of its culture. From the braille 
 lessons through the young boy's painstaking saving of a baby bird, to 
 the feeding of the chickens at his grannie's home and the reading of t
 he wheat, this film is marked by the texture to detail, amazing perfor
 mances and a stunning climax. Iran is currently producing some of the 
 best cinema in the world and this is an example of that.\nWe first enc
 ounter the blind Mohammad (Ramezani, extraordinary) at a special schoo
 l in Teheran, waiting for the arrival of his widower father at the end
  of term. When the man finally turns up, he tries to persuade the teac
 hers to keep the boy, since the burden of looking after such a child i
 s severely straining his meagre resources. Keen to remarry, the father
  considers keeping Mohammad out of the picture rather than risk scarin
 g off a prospective bride. Writer/director Majidi shoots the boy with 
 true, clear-eyed matter of factness. The characters' relationship with
  the divine is the meat of the matter: the father wonders whether the 
 Almighty has deserted him by giving him such a child; the son feels he
  has spent his whole life reaching out for God without finding him. Th
 is is a passionate investigation of faith tested in adversity, communi
 cated with straightforward eloquence.\nThe Asian Centre,8 Caxton Rd,Wo
