So, 'Rumi and His Roses' is quite an intriguing piece. The animation is really unique, almost like a watercolor painting come to life. It captures a raw, emotional journey through the lens of a gay Iranian's first love, which is honestly refreshing. The pacing feels deliberate; it meanders just enough to let you soak in the nostalgia and heartache. The love letters, that are woven into the bootleg DVD menus, add an interesting layer of intimacy and reality, grounding the film in something tangible. The tone swings from sweet to bittersweet, emphasizing the complexity of love and loss. It’s not just the story; it's how they present it that makes it stand out.
