Member Rating: Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi directed this wartime drama leavened with comedy, which at once examines the Gulf War of the early '90s and offers a prescient perspective on the attitudes and events which (in part) led to the War in Iraq in 2003. It's 1991, and in the wake of the War in the Persian Gulf, Saddam Hussein's forces are laying waste to villages in Iraq and Kurdistan believed to be harboring rebel forces who were attempting to bring down Hussein's regime with the encouragement...

Marooned wants desperately to be a taut, gripping suspense story of astronauts marooned in space due to a machinery malfunction, but it somehow misses the boat. Certainly Marooned deserves points for its determination to keep the atmosphere as realistic as possible, going so far as to eliminate any distracting musical underscoring. Unfortunately, this merely serves to point up the film's fatal flaw: it lacks sufficient dramatic and emotional tension. Director John Sturges and screenwriter Mayo Simon...

At last a honest book comes out dealing with our love and pain..accepting finally that we are gay..and happy to be so. Why can't this be accepted, even in these times. I congratulate Ms Miller in her incredible story of two men caught up in their love for the other, among uprisings and greed among the Zulu tribe off the Ivory Coast. A sensitive and powerful epic. Thanks for "Marooned". And about time!
