Title: Children of Heaven is a great film!
Product review: I highly recommend this film. I have seen it twice, once alone with my husband, and we loved it. The second time, we showed it to around twenty college- and grad school-age kids, and they ALL loved it too. Since then, my 69-year-old mother has seen it, and she thought it was amazing as well! One of the many things that's interesting about this film is that somehow this director makes you care intensely for the young kids in the story. There's real drama in a shoe floating down a gutter, an out-of-control bicycle, or a kids' foot race. I also like that this is the kind of film that can help people with biases (and isn't that all of us on some level?) reconsider some of our preconceived ideas: bias against all Iranians, bias again films with subtitles, bias against the poor. Recommended for all ages.
