Director Marc Forster’s (Finding Neverland, MVFF 2004) reverent envisioning of Khaled Hosseini’s best-selling novel is<br />
that rare example of refined literary adaptation, which makes a beloved book transcendent on screen. Wonderfully well<br />
told, this heartrending story of friendship and redemption begins in Afghanistan in 1978, where two boys are<br />
inseparable, but unequal: Amir is the privileged son of a wealthy businessman, and Hassan is his loyal servant and a<br />
member of the disdained Hazara minority. Their social inequality and a brutal incident ultimately tarnish their joyful youth<br />
together, and when the Soviets invade in 1979, Amir and his father flee the country, completing the boys’ separation. As<br />
an adult, Amir finds the past resurfacing, along with long-buried feelings of shame and failure. But an unexpected<br />
opportunity to “be good again,” takes him on a perilous journey back to his war-torn homeland, where carefree children<br />
once finessed bright-colored kites across the snow-dusted rooftops of Kabul. —Joanne Parsont<br />
