    Farhadi-style narrative: Islamic modern society, double attack of religion and law, collision of Eastern and Western cultures, sudden core events that break the peace, concealing suspense, wandering in moral dilemmas, hand-held photography in the interior space, no absolute duality of characters The distinction, the confrontation between good and evil is handled in a chaotic and ambiguous...

    So delicate, so daily, the psychological trajectories of everyone behind the dense lines are revealed little by little. The fusion of stage play and reality forms a mirror image, and the virtual and the real are separated from each other. Female compatriots, close the door every day when you go home, and even close the door when you take a...

    The image of the old man's family is a little too thin and too face, but the other plots are laid out as if watching the companion volume of "A Parting". It's just that this time the target is directed at the concept of shame in a male-dominated society. The protagonist switches between the identities of the victim and the perpetrator, all because of the dignity of the male authority. In the play, I think it's the finishing touch. Farhadi's...

    Farhadi once again sells Iranian-style moral dilemmas, a deliberate cliché that is as distasteful as Hollywood. When it comes to gender issues, Iranian censorship becomes a power of images: a ban on impulse, not fiction/imagination. (We still don't know what's going on in the...

    Buildings toppling marriages, and a bathroom attack creates a moral storm. Farhadi extracted the most cruel and helpless truth of life from daily materials. You see "A Farewell", the little girl plays with the old man's drip bottle, which is naive and deadly; the lying nanny has an abortion because of saving people, which is angry and pitiful. You see "The Salesman", the husband pursues the murderer for the truth, but also for rumors and revenge; the molester also cares for his family and his...

    This is a film about the secret desires of men, and the story has no meaning in the Islamic world. Although not as good as "A Farewell", the subtleties are still outstanding. The heroine is too beautiful, noble beauty, her forbearance, kindness and tolerance make her husband even more...

    It's better than "The Past", but there are no surprises in terms of intertextuality. My husband's indifference to his wife's injuries is what I care about. In addition, the door that opens slowly is too good at telling stories. Their acting skills are...

    Contradictions are set up for the sake of contradictions, too deliberate, and too much preaching. It is better to eat at 1.25 times the...

    restraint, restraint

    In "Salesman", the director always maintains a restraint in the narration from point to point, without exaggerating the seriousness of the situation, through the dialogue between the characters in the story, the presentation of the picture, the gradual expression Out, after the accident, the...

    "Prostitutes": Why do two Iranian men hurt each other?

    (November 20, 2016, Paris Odeon subway station, after the applause of the audience, people did not leave the theater as usual. It has been a long time since Iranian movies.)

    "Why are Iranian movies so good-looking?"

    "Because of women The protagonist is beautiful."

    "Yeah, you know how to look at...
