The French-Iranian writing and directing team of Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi return with their second feature with this whimsical fable set in Iran. After his beloved violin is destroyed by his wife, a musician decides to die which reveals a tale of love and heartache. Based on the graphic novel by Satrapi who draws on the experiences of her family and memories of Iran, the film blends tragedy with comedy in a fable setting. The splendid cast includes Mathieu Amalric, Maria de Medeiros, Eric Caravaca, Chiara Mastroianni, Isabella Rossellini, Jamel Debbouze and Golshifteh Farahani who is the only Iranian actor in the film. While the themes are universal, the film is more French in feel and tone than Iranian which represented only in a thin thread throughout the films. 1001 Films' coverage of the SFIFF55 (San Francisco International Film Festival).
