Not as conceptually brilliant as A Moment of Innocence, but it's still pretty unusual, and makes up the difference in its beauty and poetry. A "gabbeh" is something like a ceremonial rug, each one unique and with a story woven into it. This film features an elderly couple washing their gabbeh, which comes to life to tell "her" story. To use the most obvious cliché, it's about the tapestry of life. The colors are bright and rich, and the scenes often form a gabbeh-like tableau themselves.

Could be my choice for the best film of the 1990s.
