"Gabbeh" Screening at the Phoenix "Gabbeh"
screening Sunday 7th March, 4.50pm (75 mins) Phoenix "A Gabbeh is a traditional rug woven by Qashqai nomads, typically telling the story of its weaving. When a young woman "appears" out of a rug and begins to tell her love story, you get "a magical and visually stunning film set in the arid countryside of Iran. (...) Writer and director Mohsen Makhmalbaf is an inventive fabulist who uses color, character, fantasy, reality, and spirituality to convey the mysteries of love, family, ritual, and creativity. This poetic and picturesque movie celebrates the gnarled beauty of the natural world, the art of weaving, and the unique ways that story gives life shape and meaning. Gabbeh is a sense luscious film that stays with you long after the closing credits."
