Smell of Camphor, Fragrance of Jasmine / Booye kafoor, atre yas Series: Storm Warnings: The Films of Bahman Farmanara [Jan 26 – 31 2007] Director: Bahman Farmanara, Country: Iran, Release: 2000, Runtime: 93 "Bahman Farmanara's Smell of Camphor, Fragrance of Jasmine has a pixilated charm and, under the surface, a current of despair. Mr. Farmanara's sense of humor flows into this three part story about Bahman, a filmmaker coming to terms with his own mortality; he could be an Iranian Woody Allen using his own life for scoring laughs off himself." - Elvis Mitchell, New York Times For over 20 years, Bahman, an Iranian film director, has not been allowed to work by the post-Revolutionary Censorship Board. Somewhat in desperation, he accepts an assignment from Japanese TV to make a documentary about funeral rites, which gradually becomes a film about his own impending death. A politically charged parable that offers a bracingly different look at contemporary Iran, Smell of Camphor marked the triumphant return to directing by Bahman Farmanara, who gives an elegant, disarming performance as the lead character.
