Flashback review #5: 'Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame'

This one is a rather special kind of flashback review, since this is not from my old blog, but instead what I exactly had to do during my Diploma in Creative Technology (Artistic Writing) days; I had to review Hana Makhmalbaf's Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame after viewing it at a local cinema during a special international film screening period as a required for the Genre Studies subject on the third semester in 2010. So please mind the oh-so-very formal tone of this one. Contains spoilers, so be wary. Also slightly edited, grammar-wise.
