Parvaneh

About This Movie

So, Parvaneh is an intriguing piece. It really immerses you in the quiet, almost isolating atmosphere of the Swiss Alps. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of Parvaneh's experience as an Afghan immigrant to settle in. You get a strong sense of her struggle, of trying to connect in such a foreign place. The film captures the beauty of the rural landscape but juxtaposes it with the stark reality of her situation. There's something raw about the performances—particularly how Parvaneh navigates her new surroundings, the longing for home, yet the necessity of resilience. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the narrative well, keeping the focus on the character's journey and emotional depth. It’s a quiet exploration of displacement and hope.
