Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s "Scream of the Ants"

Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s 2006 movie, Scream of the Ants, is about an Iranian couple that goes on a spiritual journey to India. The woman is looking for a miracle, and the husband is an atheist. From the above trailer, it looks like a pretty lofty film, both cinematically and thematically, with heavy emphasis on intimate relationships and their philosophical and psychological implications. (We’re guessing.)

The film has been to a few festivals but hopefully will get picked up by independent theaters in the U.S. soon. Any intel? Please leave a comment!
