Majid Majidi - Beed-e majnoon AKA The Willow Tree (2005)

“

"Threatened by a deadly disease, Yussef, a blind Iranian university professor, goes to Paris for treatment. Before his departure, he made a pledge to God, asking that his life be spared. During this trip, Yussef experiences a life-changing event. Back home, the confrontation between his memories and the real world unleashes from within, primal fears and secret desires. The course of events will bring him to back face to face with another reality."

"This film can be described as a companion piece to Majidi's highly acclaimed Color of Paradise. In that movie, in which a father saw his blind son as a burden and not as a blessing, we (& eventually the father) began to "see" 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. Majidi's movies are visually stunning and have such a profound effect on the viewer that when we leave the cinema, we see the world in a different light. Parviz Parastoui, one of the best actors in the Iranian cinema and theatre, is outstanding as Yusef. Also worth mentioning is Mahmood Kelari's exceptional photography. As in all Majidi films, there are scenes which will stay with you long after the movie is over."
