What Gabbeh Is About
An elderly couple squabble gently as they wash their rug in a stream, and the young woman woven into its pattern steps out of the design to sit beside them. She belongs to the clan whose history the carpet records, and the story she tells is her own: a stranger has been trailing the tribe at a distance, and her father keeps finding reasons to postpone the wedding. Mohsen Makhmalbaf turns the gabbeh weaving of southern Iran's Ghashghai nomads into both subject and method, teaching colour straight from the landscape. It screened at Cannes in 1996.
