Sure enough, watching an Iranian movie for the first time was a little uncomfortable.

There is only BGM at the beginning and end of the whole process

Unfamiliar Middle Eastern faces and life scenes make people very detached from reality

Arabic sounds too shabby

sleepy

The film takes the form of a semi-pseudo-documentary

The main thing is the courtroom trial

From the protagonist's hesitation in answering the judge's question, his eyes shining when talking about the movie, and his ashamed asking for forgiveness, all of them are expressed through the face enlarged by the close-up.

Because this thing is really absurd, with the protagonist's elaboration, it is slowly understood by everyone

A lot of deep stuff? I can't understand it now

All in all, this is the story of a movie fan who pretended to be a director and was forgiven after being arrested.

But at the end of the movie, it's really amazing.

BGM with the protagonist sitting behind the motorcycle, holding the pink flower of repentance swaying in the wind, it's really beautiful

    #BIFF# The restoration version supervised by Abbas himself in September 2015, the restoration quality is very good. "Why Perform" docudrama. In the last scene, the liar who was filmed by the director to play the director was released from prison to meet the real director, and the mic was picked up intermittently, bringing out another theme related to "acting": truth.

    Amplify the lie and see the truth behind it. Zoom in on the accusation to see the trust behind it. Apologize for zooming in and look at the expectations behind it. Behind this close-up is tenderness, a flower, a tear, and a smile of cruel life. I really like Abbas, redefine film, tell me how the art of life and the language of film can be combined, and all of this is inseparable from kindness and love.
