Youtube:'Iran' consists of spectacular geographical and archaeological footage interspersed with "slice of life" shots, evidencing best juxtapositional editing we've ever seen. This is a buried masterpiece from the director of 'A Man and a Woman,' 'Happy New Year,' and 'And Now My Love.' Lelouch reportedly shot six miles of footage to make this film, which apparently was sponsored by a multinational petroleum pipeline construction firm, as a gift to the Shah's wife.

Very nice

Thank you for reposting this beautiful film. When JJ first posted it on the site last December I sent the link to all my friends. I do think the person who put his name on this video did something wrong because Samanofsky or whatever his name is had nothing to do with this priceless work of art by Claude Lelouch. The version posted last December doesn't have his name on it. Thank you.
