The White Meadows

The White Meadows is an Iranian fable about a man who travels around collecting tears. 2 days after seeing it, i still feel at a bit of a loss. i can say for certain and beyond any doubt that it was beautiful. absolutely stunning cinematography. the challenge is that the film offers some startling and deeply upsetting scenarios, with little to no resolution. while i appreciated the absence of any judgment in how these stories were told, it did mean that i was left, at the end, wondering what to do with the tumultuous emotions inspired by this quiet, beautiful movie. i don't think that's a bad thing, but i'm also not sure it's a good thing either?
