Mashgh-e Shab
1989
Synopsis
In this documentary, Iranian schoolboys complain about the amount of homework they have to do.
Editorial
Returning to the classroom after First Graders, Abbas Kiarostami interviews schoolboys, and just wait until you hear what tumbles from their mouths. Underneath a simple—and simply devastating—premise, Kiarostami unearths a maelstrom of suffering, indicating something rotten in the state of Iran.
