I found this film to be delightfully minimalistic, Iris' innocence is completely shattered by the harsh reality of life as she grows into a woman.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film and it has definitely become one of my favorites, the exploration of a working class girl who is expected to provide for her parents and receive nothing in return is expertly done. The minimal dialog and focus on the dreariness of Iris' working class life is a very effective narrative.
Iris is a simple working class woman who has simple working class desires, she searches for a partner in life and love only to be at first rejected, the chewed up and spat out by a cold unfeeling upper class middle aged balding man.
When life gives us lemons most of us hope that there is something better out there, we try to improve ourselves even through the harshness and selfishness of our fellow human beings we see a light. Why do we do this? Iris refuses to answer this question, or even contemplate it.
I recommend this film without hesitation, Enjoy!
