|
Synopsis:
A girl believing in god is in love with an atheist. They decide to spend their honeymoon in India. So they start their adventure in .
Scream of the Ants could be described as Makhmalbaf’s philosophies on life, religion and sex set against a series of visual tableaux. The “”story”” as such concerns a young Iranian couple who have journeyed to India to find “”The Complete Man””. Along the way, the couple, and a string of other characters, offer us pieces of Makmalbaf’s philosophies. As an example, a driver taking the couple to see the Complete Man muses:””If you go by car to visit The Complete Man, you can have a good view; but if you go by foot, you’ll have a vision.”” Well, if you find something profound in that, then you’re likely to enjoy this film. Otherwise, it can be a very slow ride.
