this 8 minutes the longest kiss in cinema (Shokof said he wanted to actually make it an 80 Minutes kiss but the actors lips would,nt hold up to the promise)was dedicated to freedom for Iranian Women as a couple kiss on the streets for 8 minutes. it is brilliantly shot starting with an investigating eye (in a wide shot )from behind a window(the LONG shot) for around 2 minutes . one sees the commotion and the traffic around the couple on the side walk as some moslem women pass by under veil and look at the couple kissing. Then, there comes the cut to get closest to the couple as the kiss continues most erotically, passionately and tightly(CLOSE)for another 6 minutes. towards the end of the kiss we hear the curses of the Moslem fanatics against the longest innocent kiss on the screen.brave, brilliant and again as fresh as all Shokof,s works. both the film and the kiss get another 10 from me.
