The Color of Love
During the weeklong Ashura festival in the ancient city of Shiraz, the older generation performs cathartic rituals while the city's youth are left to their own devices. They spend this time cruising the public squares, hoping for a sideways glance or a passed note from a potential lover, while avoiding the patrolling morality police. Caught between traditions thousands of years old and a 21st century perspective informed by satellite TV and the internet, they struggle to find a place for romance amid the strict moral codes of their country. In this engaging documentary, Iranians, young and old, married and single, speak candidly about love, marriage, and sex, revealing the truth about what it s like to seek and find love in modern Iran. more

Get it!
You're not going to see a more powerful, funny, or intimate portrait of young people in Iran on film. Maryam Keshavarz has a kind of access and insight that goes beyond the usual shallow 'axis of evil' shorthand. Buy one for yourself, and one for Condolezza Rice.
