Unrelated to the Persian Myth
epicintron6 February 2013
This is an odd little black and white film that consists primarily of cars parked on a narrow street and later driving on an expressway at night. The audio was muffled, but then there were few lines and fewer actors. The man who drove the car, got out, locked it and went to the door of a row house apartment where he called for Esfandyar. That in effect was the highlight of the action. Later the guys came out of the apartment and began talking about a game that was coming up. Maybe it was meant to be nouveau Dadaist minimalism or something, but if that's the case it went over my head. For the most part, there were long static moments of a shadowy street. Poorly lit and in search of a plot, this movie had nothing to do with the Prince of Persia, Esfandyar and his nemesis Rostam. It would seem that when an artist uses names that are prominent in mythology there would be some meaning in the reference, but alas there was none that I could discern.
