Pari

About This Movie

Pari is a quiet yet gripping drama that explores the alienation of both a son and his parents. You have Babak, this Iranian student in Greece, who simply vanishes, leaving his parents, Pari and her older husband, in a foreign land that feels hostile and bewildering. The atmosphere is heavy with tension, and you can really feel their isolation as they navigate through the maze of a city that feels both beautiful and threatening. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to truly soak in the couple's desperation and confusion. Performances are raw, particularly from the leads, who embody the struggle of faith and familial bonds in this unfamiliar terrain. It's the emotional weight of their journey that lingers, making this film a fascinating examination of cultural displacement.
