The Red Ribbon (Persian: روبان قرمز) is a 1999 Iranian war drama film directed by Ebrahim Hatamikia. The film was submitted to the 17st Fajr International Film Festival and won three Crystal Simorghs in the fields of best directing, best editing and best actress. The film looks a lot like The English Patient. Hatamikia's ability to translate an American film scenario for an Iranian audience and make it look like the Iran-Iraq war points to the universality of war.[1]
