About Marriage of the Blessed
Haji is severely traumatized by the war with Iraq. Back from the front, he's unable to adapt to civilian life. Despite family opposition, his fiancée stands by him as together they challenge both the authority of family and state to lead their own lives.
Directed by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Marriage of the Blessed leans on a strong ensemble — Ebrahim Abadi, Mahmud Bigham, Roya Nownahali — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1989.
