Title: Fascinating subject, awful film
Review: I adore Googoosh and her music. And this has to be one of the worst films I have ever seen. Let there be no doubt that the subject is fasicinating. The film follows Googoosh's life and career as well as tackling the role of women in Iran (before and after the revolution). Too bad the director, Zamani, is a complete amateur. This film features a bunch of interview clips that need to be heavily edited to be interesting and it keeps repeating the same archival footage over and over again.The repeated footage, along with the use of the triple-take trick are meant to emphasize the director's point. But the only thing they proved to me was that this filmmaker doesn't know what he's doing. There are so many flaws and cheap cinematic techniques used here that I wouldn't even know where to begin to describe them.This film is an insult to Googoosh and to filmmaking.
