Director: Chang-dong Lee
Genre: Drama
Eleven award winning films tell a love story. Jong-du, a young man just out of prison for manslaughter, is a social misfit: fidgety, snuffling, laughing inappropriately, without a super ego. When released, he calls on the family of the victim; they send him away, but not before he has seen Gong-ju, a young woman disabled severely by cerebral palsy. Both are abused by their families, and both are used by them as well. Although their relationship begins with Jong-du’s criminal behavior, a friendship develops. They talk of favorite things; he washes her hair; they go out; in late night phone calls, he helps her past her fears of the dark. Running with Scissors

2005
Director: Majid Majidi 
Genre: Drama 
The film can be described as a companion piece to Majidi’s highly acclaimed Color of Paradise. In the movie, in which a father saw his blind son as a burden and not as a blessing, it is possible to realize the world from the blind boy’s view and in doing so saw a much richer, meaningful world. Here, the characters of the father and the son are embodied in a single person: Yusef who after 38 years of being blind regains his sight. What he sees, however, is quite different to what he "saw" as a blind man, and not necessarily more beautiful or rewarding. Majidi takes the viewer to a higher, more spiritual world and in doing so creates another masterpiece. Parviz Parastoui, one of the best actors in the Iranian cinema and theater, is outstanding as Yusef. Also worth mentioning is Mahmood Kelari’s exceptional photography.
