Why is it important?
The Review intrudes and analyses sequences of the film to a wide range of readers.
Perspectives
I was especially interested in the use of the metaphor of the garden in this film - a metaphor so crucial in Persian art and literature, as well as in religious texts. Neshat uses this cultural allusion superbly, and I wish to outline the wider Middle Eastern historical context.
