eye-opening war film
It would be hard to imagine a more pertinent and relevant film than “Turtles Can Fly,” an Iran/Iraq co-production that, like a modern day version of “Forbidden Games,” looks at the horrors of war through the eyes of its most helpless and innocent victims – children. Set in a poor village located in Kurdistan, just a few steps from Iraq’s barb-wired border with Turkey, “Turtles Can Fly” begins right before the American invasion of that Arab country in the spring of 2003. Many of the children of the village are orphaned refugees who earn money by finding, defusing, and then selling the many active land mines that lie strewn across the barren countryside. This is literally how most of them make their living. The main character is a teenaged boy who goes by the name of Satellite (one of his many duties is to hook up satellite dishes for the villagers’ TV’s) who, much like a pint-sized Fagin, sends his gang of kids – many crippled and missing limbs – out on daily missions to forage for mines. Another major character is a young girl who was raped by the soldiers who killed her family and who now carries the burden of “shame” that comes with having had a child out of wedlock and whose actions in this realm ultimately lay the groundwork for the story’s final tragedy.

Given its harsh subject matter, “Turtles Can Fly” – which features wonderful performances from a group of children, some of whom have themselves lost limbs to landmines – is not always easy to watch, but there is a surprising amount of humor in the movie, as well as a tender-hearted compassion for its characters that makes it a compelling, moving experience. Much of the humor comes from the near-surreal juxtaposition of a Medieval existence and mindset with devices of modern technology such as trucks, television sets, satellite dishes etc. The protagonist’s no-nonsense, sardonic approach to life and the people around him also generates some much-needed humor.

But, ultimately, this is a poignant, haunting movie that opens up a world largely unfamiliar to those of us living out our far more comfortable lives in the West. The movie is basically a series of slice-of-life vignettes that help us to understand the appalling conditions under which people in that part of the world are forced to survive. Yet even as they eke out some sort of existence against the greatest of odds, these youngsters still find time to laugh and play and fall in love, a fact that is bound to strike a responsive chord in viewers the world over. For the film is a heartbreaking and vivid reminder that when adults play at their games of war, it is the children of the world who suffer the most.

Compelling film about life during war
Incredible performances from a cast mainly comprised of children and teens. Director/writer Bahman Ghobadi blends day-to-day experiences common to people everywhere (falling in love, being asked to do something you don’t really know how to do, etc …) , with some of the realities of life in a Kurdish village in Iraq before the (most recent) war, to create an incredibly moving film. It is at once specific to its time and place, and universal. There is horror and humour, honour and compassion.

It’s beautifully filmed, too, but the power comes totally out of the stories and the kids, who are in effect playing themselves.

I saw this at a festival, don’t know what kind of distribution it will get, but I strongly recommend anyone who gets the chance going to see it.
