This film, officially unable to leave Iran's borders, follows a young man as he does his military service at a camp near Teheran. He has smuggled a tiny tape recorder into the barracks and listens to the voice of a woman, sometimes allowing his buddies to listen. The tape recorder is their lifeline to a more cheerful world outside the misery of their military service. A fascinating history lies behind Iranian filmmaker Ali-Reza Amini's LETTERS IN THE WIND. The movie, which shines a light on life inside an Iranian military camp, has rarely been seen outside of Amini's native country due to an injunction placed on it by authorities. Nevertheless, it is presented here, and offers plenty of food for thought, largely due to the director's use of a cinema verite style. Focusing on a young male who trains at the camp, Ali-Reza paints a disturbing picture of isolation and solitude as the man and his colleagues desperately cling to a tape recording of a female voice. A moving, thoughtful piece, LETTERS IN THE WIND offers a chilling portrait of the loneliness these trainee soldiers have inflicted on them as they forcibly undertake the tough Iranian military service program.

Letters In The Wind film
$6.35 
This debut feature film by Joshua Marston tells the suspenseful and absorbing story of Maria, a poor, pregnant Columbian teenager (Catalina Sandina Moreno) with a soul-crushing job at a flower plantation and a rebellious streak. Her multigenerational, all-female family relies too much on her as the principle breadwinner, squandering her earnings on medicines of questionable value for her sister's baby. This drives Maria to quit, dump her immature boyfriend, and go to Bogotá where she tumbles into work as a drug mule. Like thousands of real-life Columbians, she earns money by flying to New York City with up to a kilogram of tightly wrapped heroin pellets in her stomach, risking prison or worse: instant death should even one of the pellets break open inside her. Marston based the film on actual interviews with airport customs agents and former mules; the result is an authentic, intensely cinematic experience. The camera wrings vivid color and mood from the many on-location settings and doesn't shy away from any aspect of Maria's journey, making this succeed as a suspense film, character study, and detailed ...
