Christopher Lockwood

From the extremes of bigotry and hatred, exhibited by people who in reality are not adversely affected in any way, to the open arms (though with some political persuasion) of humanity and respect. The horrid circumstances in which a mother gives up her child. Ironically behaviour from supposedly Christian people, whose religion forbids violence and promotes love and respect. In one one biblical story illustrated after a stoning, that all have come short of the glory of their maker.

Excellent. Graphic in its portrayal of the decline in Afghan society.

I first saw the movie back in the 80s. I never think of myself as a romantic, but I have always liked this particular film. I think it tackled some issues, not aggressively, but rather in an honest, nostalgic way. Not over dramatised, just a good Aussie movie.
