Persian Lessons is like grade school lessons: too long and the gimmicks are obvious, but at least there are some nice pictures. A man in an unbelievable situation has to use melodrama to prove that World War II was tragic. This isn't as challenging as they think it is.
A little overlong perhaps but still a good film. The ending, while expected, still proved satisfying.
