“Septembers Of Shiraz” (** out of four) was a ponderous war melodrama set during the Iranian revolution in which a prosperious Jewish family (Adrien Brody and Salma Hayek) abandon everything they have before they are caught up in the overwhelming revolution and their family is killed. Brody is strong as always but even he is let down by a script and story with limited emotional power and never shifts into high gear. Hayek is solid but sorely miscast and wasted as his wife. For a much richer and more powerful look at some of the same material, watch Brody’s previous war melodrama “The Pianist” instead. Striking music score by Mark Isham is an undeniable plus.
