I'll certainly look out for it!

On a Sunday, there were a sum total of 3 people in the theatre. I was afraid they would cancel the show. Luckily for me (and the other two souls) they didnt.<br /><br />I just adored it.<br /><br />I had actually forgotten that The Shah used to rule Iran once. Too bad it was all 'frying pan into the fire' for the Iranians. Poor Anoosh and his bread swans.<br /><br />I fell totally in love with the grandmother and her jasmine flowers. I bet they are better than deos any day.<br /><br />I thought the movie was PERFECT.Avahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274222598587327676noreply@blogger.com
