Blackboards (2000)

Itinerant Kurdish teachers, carrying blackboards on their backs, look for students in the hills and villages of Iran, near the Iraqi border during the Iran-Iraq war. Said falls in with a group of old men looking for their bombed-out village; he offers to guide them, and takes as his wife Halaleh, the clan's lone woman, a widow with a young son. Reeboir attaches himself to a dozen pre-teen boys weighed down by contraband they carry across the border; they're mules, always on the move. Said and Reeboir try to teach as their potential students keep walking. Danger is close; armed soldiers patrol the skies, the roads, and the border. Is there a role for a teacher? Is there hope?

That is essentially what's missing from Blackboards -- the sense of something bigger, some ultimate point.

A heartening tale of small victories and enduring hope.

Samira Makhmalbaf's second feature as director has a fascinating subject matter that immediately arrests the attention: a group of functionally literate nomadic Kurdish teachers traverse the hills of Iran with blackboards on their backs, looking for opportunities to teach. As the rich, sumptuous visual beauty of Cinematographer Ebrahim Ghafori sinks in and the actual story starts fleshing itself out, the inconsistencies and the intrinsic shallowness of the film's grasp is evident. Makhmalbaf, a mere 22 when she made the film, clearly lacks a deep understanding of the humanity unfolding before her, preferring to spin a few episodic, slice-of-life stories into one film with no real resonance or power. The film has its own rhythm and elegance, and is astonishing in presenting a reality so fantastically removes from ours. But its true grace should have lain in the plight of the characters on the screen.

powerful and symbolic story set against the haunting landscape of the iran / iraq border. with raw and uncompromising acting and imagery i thought the emotional intensity of the film could have been cranked up even higher to leave more of a lingering impression. great 2 see a young, female director from this part of the world bringing local stories to the big screen, must look up her other works.

...a poignant and powerful narrative that reveals that reading writing and arithmetic are not the only subjects to learn in life.
