why'd the boy have to be blind? but still a good film with lots of good scenes.

A simple but very poetic and beautiful work. The use of sound and music, particularly the repeated motif of Beethoven's 5th, is stunning, and the imagery is quite memorable as well. To be honest, I didn't care much for the young actor in the lead role, but I really adored the girl who helps him out. I still haven't found a Makhmalbaf film as sublime as A Moment of Innocence, but I'm eager to explore more of his work.
