		At the same time, Majidi's films used stories about children and families as a way of metaphorically dealing with larger political and social issues that artists in Iran might not have been able to confront head on.
		Majid Majidi was born in Tehran in 1959; raised in a middle-class family, he developed an interest in theater in his early teens, and began performing with a group of amateur players at 14.
		Majidi's first screen role to gain any significant notice outside of Iran was in the 1986 drama Boycott, and shortly after his acting career began to take flight, he moved over to the director's chair; 1992's Baduk was his first feature film, and it began to earn the filmmaker a reputation in the West.

		Majid Majidi, whose delightful Children of Heaven became the first Iranian film ever nominated for an Oscar, returns to the subject of children for this lush and lovely--if contrived--melodrama.
		Majidi is at his best exploring the texture of the boy's world--little hands feeling their way through a garden, the sounds of metal pencils punching out Braille pages, the shuffle of fingers on paper--and his imagery is delicate and lush.
		Majidi has created a ninety minute work which is rich with visual and emotional textures that will stay with you long after the film is over.

	Majid Majidi \| The A.V. Club
		Majidi's latest movie Children Of Heaven, like the work of many of his contemporaries, captures poverty and politics through the eyes of children, inspiring many people to compare it to the classic The Bicycle Thief, or even fellow Iranian director Jafar Sassani's recent The White Balloon.
		The reason for this focus on children is practical as well as artistic: By aiming their movies at younger audiences, Iranian directors are all but assured of financing through the government's Center for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults.
		Majid Majidi: One of the key changes was the election of the new president, President Khatami.
