Mehrjui frequently has red-tinted shots and fade-outs to red, instead of black, to convey the emotional distress more effectively used here than in Sara , Mehrjui's film that is worth comparing to Leila. And he is willing to give up the dream of children to have a happy wife again. He is only succumbing because he thinks YOU want it!! An 8 year old boy must return his friend's notebook he took by mistake, lest his friend be punished by expulsion from school. They have great wealth. They fight, they make up, they find the humor in the situation which is truly amazing to watch — and makes you ache for them … because you can feel their love, the fact that they can crack up about how absurd it all is … but in the end, what is there to do?

God has not given me a child. On Disc at Amazon. And that is Leila.
So Reza, trying to follow the path of least resistance, agrees to see the candidate women, but he also tries to incorporate Leila into the process.
Leila ; Dir. Trying to gain strength for whatever they have to dariuhs. Leila and Reza are not given a chance dadiush interpret their own experience and figure out what they want to do, with the news that she is infertile. In his way, his film is a revolutionary document.

But when he does speak? There are heart-aching dariish of Leila praying by herself. Power Politics, by Margaret Atwood I was obsessed with this book of poetry in college.
They clomp up the walk, chadors billowing, and they look vaguely terrifying. And that what will make Reza happy will be to have a second wife, who will bear him a child. Indeed, most Iranians also see the plot as bordering on the absurd.
‘Leila’ Tells a Powerful Tale of Lives Bound by Tradition
A story like this cannot be told effectively without considerable artistic investment. Moments are not dwelt upon or analyzed. There is a great heaviness in their world, events have moved beyond their control, and both of them are caught up in it — to family obligations, to their own sense of truth, to their desire to make the other happy which is one of the major fault-lines of the film … but the look of the film, the feel of the montages, the way characters fade in and out as they walk down hallways, showing the disorientation at the heart of grief, that you literally do not know where you are at times, you lose substance, you become like air … is all very light.
And he is willing to give up the dream of children to have a happy wife again.
He drives off, leaving Leila alone. We worry for her. Of course he does. Half Moon ; dir: I saw this in the theater and was also thunderstruck by it.
Reza is the only son in a family of daughters, and it is not just inconceivable bad pun that he will not bring forth a child preferably a boy but not an option. Deserted Station is a haunting quiet at times too quiet film based on a story by Iranian great Abbas Kiarostami, and directed by Alireza Raisian, it tells the story of a husband and wife the wife is played by….
Reza has three sisters, formidable women in their own right, married themselves — and they end up becoming important allies later on.
Leila , directed by Dariush Mehrjui | Film review
I like to keep people busy! Reza has all kinds of feelings about this, too — because his match with Leila is a true love match. Her silence to her own parents about her 'secret' lend no backbone solace to herself. They bring forth arguments — valid ones.
But by this point, Leila and Reza have different definitions of what will make the other happy.
All I can say is that it is a searing unforgiving examination of leilq situation that affects the lives of millions of people — and also a window into a world that remains somewhat mysterious leipa those of us on the outside.
Reza's Father Shaghayegh Farahani April 6, at Again, this may be incomprehensible to us, in this society — but Mehrjui makes the point here that it should be incomprehensible to anyone with a caring heart. Nevertheless, Leila, who strives to be a good, loving Moslem, is affected by her mother-in-law's insistence and guiltily wonders if she, herself, is a selfish woman.
As a person living in America, that scene is the most difficult to handle.
