Archipelago is a journey through ancient myths, exorcism rituals, sounds and spirits. In the south of Iran, on a group of islands of the Persian Gulf, humans and spirits coexist since centuries. The culture and traditions of these Islands are the result of the encounters between Africa, the Arab Countries and Iran, generating a unique system of syncretic beliefs. Spirits of different heritages and origins, called Bad, the Persian word for wind, moving through the air, take possession of the islanders bodies and can only be quieted through a music ceremony called the Zar Ritual. Thanks to an unprecedented access given to foreign film makers, the Film showcases stories and landscapes of the islanders daily life within the frame of the Rituals, giving, through pounding drum rhythms and wailing vocal chorus, a rare and unexpected glimpse of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This movie was absolutely great in my opinion; it might even be my favorite movie at this moment.
Visually stunning with excellent acting! Ahmed Qeshmi is wonderful portraying her character's reactions with great naturalism.
This film, in short, is absolutely fantastic. SO,GO FOR IT..you like Mama Feza, blown away by Ashraf Zarnegari.. A must sea! you won't regret it.
This is a pretty good movie. The storyline is pretty nice.
It was great. Keeps you guessing and wanting to watch more!
I've not seen a good movie like this for a while. It’s well acted and enjoyable.
This was a wonderful movie to watch. I had a great moment of thinking about people around me after watching this great movie.
I just came back from seeing this movie, twice! Yes, it is that good. The highlight in this film was definitely Mama Feza and Ashraf Zarnegari. Mama Feza gave such a convincing and emotional performance in a character who is so sensitive. Ashraf Zarnegari was really good at bringing to life such a character. I was really amazed at how good he was playing
Enjoy it for what it is! I can only say that I tremendously enjoyed it from start to finish.
I’m a big Ashraf Zarnegari fan. And this movie shocked me. He was absolutely brilliant ! From beginning to end I was captivated!
