Gorgeous!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gabbeh (VHS Tape)
'Gabbeh' is subtitled 'Life is Color.' The story is simple, naive even. But don't get the idea that it's boring or lifeless. Passion runs strong in this story which interweaves the Gabbeh, a seemingly coarse and childlike colorful carpet, the love story of the elderly couple who are washing it in a stream and the nomadic life. All this is set against a breathtakingly beautiful landscape. The use of color throughout is amazing!

Colorful, but confusing,
By Andrea Fierro (Weston, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gabbeh (VHS Tape)
"Color represents life". Breath taking landscape views, bright happy colors, which represents a lot of interesting aspects of the film. But the music and the actors voices were a little uncomfortable. Yes, it was an interesting film which shows the tradition of a nomadic tribe in Iran, guided and ruled by the father. Goats and rugs were their representation of survival and values. Gabbeh, being referred to a rug and a young lady is the main point of the film and the story is based on them.Finally many aspects were very confusing. The film's organization was always going back and forth. They show scenes of the past then the present go back to the past, and just to say that it was making my concentration dizzy! I know that it's shot in a different language, different culture and territory; Although, wonderful teachings were said in the film. For example, the power of love and wanting to be with somebody makes time dissapear. Waiting, regardless of all the obstiacles that can come, at the end your dream con come true. Also the togetherness in which the tribe lived and worked was admirable. Family was always together and the way they represented their life and feelings through their rugs was amazing and time consuming. Don't miss the forgiveness between Gabbeh and her father. If you like something different in many ways this film is for you.

Kinda Bored.....,
By justareader (yorba linda, ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gabbeh (VHS Tape)
There are wonderful moments and beautiful scenes in this movie, but the storyline seems to be a bit contrite and boring. I personally don't like this movie too much, especially the howling of the wolf part, kinda silly. But Iran, folks, is such a beautiful country.
