Actually this movie had built at 1991. Beautiful movie like all movies of Darius Mehrjui. A memorable movie with good acting. Ezzatollah Entezami in a different way. also I enjoyed Khosro Shakibai. Bita Farahi A woman that finally understand that she never could rely on people. There is just one thing to rely on. No one else can help us. She understood that she should cut hope off all people. At the end she goes to find god. She moves to Mashhad A holy city of Iran. I had seen most of Mehrjui's works but not this one. I didn't knew Banoo is such good. Similar with Hamoun and Pari in some ways. I recommend this movie for all who enjoy Hamoun.

First I watched this movie when I was about 10 years old. After watching again after about 12 years I see that I understood nothing that time. I just remembered some scenes also I knew how it would end.

We can see a lot about Persian traditions in this movie like other works of Ali Hatami. Old houses and families live together. And also couples who eat food in the same plate. I don't think anybody live like this in Iran now. Behrouz Vosoughi was amazing. A different act as a crazy brother. Scenes where he is talking to himself are great.

Great Dialogues is an important characteristics of Hatami's movies. I love dialogs of this movie.

I had watched this movie two times. But I decided to watch again this movie after about 8 years. This time I enjoy even more despite I knew all the story. Nobody can watch this movie without crying even if it's not the first time seeing movie. I didn't know Faramarz Gharibian had part in this movie. Another great acting by Behrouz Vosoughi. I enjoyed the music. This movie had some limitations. They wanted Farhad to sing for that song but they didn't permitted. Also I think they change the poem of song. really beautiful music. Friendship Persian style. Lot of touching scenes. I think this is the best movie about addiction and maybe best Persian movie(in my opinion yes). I recommend this movie.

I had a lot nostalgia with this movie despite it was my first time watching this movie. During the war between Iran and Iraq a boy who's from south-east where is affected from war more than anywhere. By hiding in a truck accidentally goes to north of Iran. The safest place during the war. It seems people are not aware of the war. It was funny for me that these people never seen a person with dark side and they were laughing at Bashu. Susan Taslimi was great. In my opinion she is the best Persian actress. I'm so sad she left Iran that soon and she didn't act in more movies. All her movies worth watching at least for seeing her act. This movie was boycotted for about 4 years. They said this movie is antiwar and is not a propel movie during the war. But it has shown after the war on 1990.

I saw this movie in a very bad quality. Lot's of noise and video was like a slide show. But I enjoy this movie. It was boycotted for 4 years. I am surprised how good was this old Persian movie. It was written by GholamHussein Saedi who also wrote The cow and Dayere Mina. All three are best Persian movies and both Tranquility in the Presence of Others and Dayere Mina were boycotted for several years. I'm so sad he just had part in three movies. It was clear for me that some parts of this movie was censored, when 2 men in a restaurant were talking. when he began to say something about the country (Iran) scenes were cut. I recommend this movie and in my opinion this movie is in ten best Persian movies.
