Iranian Mohammad Rasoulof wrote, directed and produced this invented fable about a man who hears people's heartaches and collects their tears at fictional villages around a salt lake. Visually striking but vague on symbolism, it's hard to figure out what Rasoulof's aims are except some kind of criticism of the current regime. Cinematographer Ebrahim Ghafori brings his magic that's the best thing about the film. YRCinema's coverage of the San Francisco International Film Festival.
