Iranian films at MFA

The 15th annual Iranian Film Festival unwinds at various locales around H-town for the next month. The Aurora Picture Show, the Rice Media Center and specifically the Museum of Fine Arts hosts what will be for many a once in a lifetime chance to see most of these films. It's rare enough to see any foreign film get a theatrical berth in Houston, especially with the Landmark recently closing half their six screens.
This weekend and next the MFA presents six films. A couple of highlights include: 10 + 4, an amazing bit of feminism in the midst of an overly paternal system; Rule of the Game, aptly described as the Tehran Hillbillies; Havana File, wherein a Western-educated doctor finds the government has cancelled his scientific project. Iranian films have a marked sense of the passing of time. Where we would jump cut out all the boring parts, while say waiting in line to gain admission to a party, in a typical Iranian film you would experience the profundity of the entire wait.
