An engrossing tale of class differences that reveals tiny details of one man’s descent into hell.
Not a great film, but a good one.
A flawlessly executed character study.
Unfolds with a marvelously understated humanism.
The success of Crimson Gold depends to an intriguing degree on the performance of its leading actor, a large, phlegmatic man.
Its characters are no different from the rest of us, in the cluster of their annoyances and kicks, yet utterly removed from us by a system that frowns upon ordinary desire. Jafar Panahi's movie, unsurprisingly, has been outlawed in Iran. Nobody likes a prophet. [19 January 2004, p. 93]
Watching it is like getting a peek behind the curtain. But it's frustrating, too, because the casting of Emadeddin as a murderer-in-the-making precludes any psychological depth. And as an indictment of social inequality, which is the film's calling card, Panahi inadvertantly makes a far better case for the haves than for the have-nots.
