She continually visits the property and harasses the Behrani family. There's just one problem - Kathy is determined not to let all this happen.
Finally, he and his family can crawl out from the financial burden that has plagued them for the past few years. After a few months, they put it on the market for $174,000 - nearly four times the purchase price. They purchase Kathy's house for $45,000 and do some quick fix-ups on the property. Things are going very well for Massoud Behrani and his family. It would have been helpful to reinforce that fact, especially considering the nature of some of the plot points. It turns out that the story takes place a few years after the Iranian Revolution (which started in 1979), so it's probably set in the early or mid 1980's.
#PLOT OF HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG MOVIE#
Another frustrating thing was the fact that the movie never makes it clear when this story takes place. Obviously, the movie is far more complicated than that, but Dreamworks sure didn't seem to do a very good job of making that clear to the general masses.
Well, stop the presses! I know I can't resist a good story about people arguing over a house. And all the trailers and previews I saw conveyed only one thing - people arguing over a house. I know it's traditional to keep the name, but in this case, couldn't an exception have been made? The title is booooring. (It was nominated for three Oscars, but it didn't win any of them.) For starters, the movie is based on the book of the same name by André Dubus III. It almost seemed like it was being aimed directly at the Oscars. I don't know if that was deliberate, but somehow this movie didn't seem marketed for the masses. What frustrated me the most about this movie was how badly marketed it was. However, if you prefer well-made, intelligent movies, this one is worth checking out. It has some points to make, and it makes them in a gritty, unapologetic way. This is not a happy movie that the whole family will enjoy watching.
House of Sand and Fog is mostly overlooked by audiences, but this movie is very well done, and worth seeing.Īs I'm sure most of you have already figured out, House of Sand and Fog is not for everyone.
