Reviews

The film is produced in 2021. The story takes place in the early years of the revolution and reminds the audience of the films of Mohammad Hossein Mahdovian. Films such as "Midday Adventures" that take place in that era. Usually, movies with this space and time frame are attractive to me. The story of the film moves on the border of sloganeering, but it does not fall and goes well. The actors are really good and the director has paid attention to details. However, this story cannot be considered suitable for today's times and in fact it is suitable for at least a decade ago. But some encounters in today's times can be rooted in the story and dialogues of this film, and this makes the film attractive.

The movie is produced in 2022. Parinaz Izdiyar has acted flawlessly like most of the movies I have seen of him recently. This movie reminds me of the movie "Bone Marrow" more than anything else. The tying and unraveling of the knots of the story happens gradually and during the story, and everything is not clear from the beginning. It seems that Parinaz Izdiyar has taken a strong step in Iranian cinema and has now become one of the most important Iranian actresses. Hooten Shakiba had a good game as always and has handled the role. It is a social and painful film, but the story is so well written that it keeps the audience with it until the end of the film.

The genre of this movie is family comedy and it is good for those bored times when you want to watch a normal movie. The story of the movie is interesting and may have come to many people's minds. That two people invite themselves to people's wedding, without actually being invited. The actors have been able to play the characters well and the story has an orderly process, but you should not expect too much from this movie and in fact you should settle for watching a normal movie and see the glitter and pass by this movie easily. You won't miss anything by not watching this movie. Be sure. It gets few points.

This movie is one of the movies that were released this year. Ali Dosti's song is perfect as always. The story of this movie is based on reality and is actually considered a biographical movie. The actors have played their roles well. The dialogues and actually the way of thinking of some people in the story sometimes become so nerve-wracking that the audience completely sympathizes with the lead actor and puts himself in similar situations. Trying to reach a peak, despite many obstacles, forms the whole story and this is something that many of us have experienced in different ways. It is a good movie.

The film is produced in 1973. A police movie that is actually one of the first generation movies of this genre. The story of the movie is not very amazing. Maybe after 50 years since it was made, the story seems a bit simple, but I almost guessed the theme from the middle of the movie. However, I was surprised towards the end of the movie. Therefore, it is one of the films that can surprise the audience to some extent and advance the story in a way that the audience does not expect. The twist of the story is suitable and it keeps the audience almost to the end. Although the movie is old, it can be enjoyed and maybe it will be worth the afternoon of a day off.

The film is produced in 2015. The story of the movie is nothing strange, but the inner changes of a driver who is involved in this work due to adverse psychological conditions are interesting. A driver who feels changes in himself when facing passengers. Travelers who are intelligently connected to each other in several cases. The fact that a person looks for the missing pieces of the puzzle of his life in the life and words of others is the focus of this film. In fact, we should consider this film as a long story, which consists of short stories connected together. The film is interesting and remarkable.

The film is produced in 2013. A different movie that doesn't take place on earth at all and all the story takes place in space. Amazing images that take your breath away due to the events. Maybe the script or the story are not very important in this movie and the visual effects are the first word. However, the story cannot be overridden and it must be said that the characters are in the worst situations to choose the best decisions and save themselves. Everything is calm in this movie. Movements, sounds are calm in most of the movie. But the events come quickly to the characters. Life expectancy and whether they will finally put their foot on the ground is one of the most important points of the film. There are many details in this film, including the Cold War between America and Russia. Where the explosion of a Russian spaceship resulted in the launch of fragments suspended in space and harmed the American astronauts. Overall, the movie is acceptable.

This movie has a painful story. It shows the ugliness of war from another angle. In fact, the main point of view of the film is the point of view of women, but ordinary women that we all know. The Iran-Iraq war was so painful that many years after its end, films are still being made about that war and it has something to say. Perhaps the main topic is the Iran-Iraq war, but there are so many different angles that a movie can be made about this topic for years. The acting of the movie actors is good. The story of Khorramshahr is always full of pain. A city that no longer lives up to its name. The young men who stayed in the city and fought. This movie even looks at this issue from a female point of view and this makes the story more interesting. It is a painful movie and it has sad scenes of war, but this space also ends in a kind of romance. When there are women, even painful events become a little more bearable.

The film was made in 1991 and was released in 1997. A film that may be thought to be about the events after the 1988 elections; But the reality is something else. The film is a complete narrative of history. Rewriting history and changing history based on what is expedient. Maybe these readings of this film are the reason for the 6-year wait for the release license. The spaces of the film are not too many, but the narratives continue throughout history and show the difference of thinking in generations. Some dialogues are brilliant and memorable. Like the dialogue between Shahab Hosseini and Saber Abar about the picture frame. The games are also good. However, the movie can be seen and even heard like a long story! Another piece of the story of this movie is back to that black plastic that contains "lovable junk". All that the old woman has about her husband, brother and children should be thrown away so that she does not get into trouble. From her husband's booze to VHS movies and cassette tapes and Marx's books, etc. It is a different film among Iranian films that narrate history.

It's like we're all in the same cycle. A cycle that continues forever. You can't get out of this cycle, you can't take your head out of the window and take a fresh breath. Only this cycle is longer for us, and for the man in this short film, it only takes a few short minutes. Maybe part of the déjà vu that we see in our own lives is also related to this cycle! What does anyone know?

Winner of the best film of the New York Short Film Festival, the Microcurt Jury Award, the Grand Jury Award of Vanfest New Jersey, the Centrofujado Canal de Sada International Film Festival Award and more than 10 other prestigious awards.

This movie is directed by Amir Naderi and is from 1974. Naderi said about this film: "It's my story, it happened to me, I fell in love with a hand, a fawn's hand with three bangles." The whole movie is in silence and nothing else is heard except for a few voices and that too in a few sequences. The movie is almost more than 40 minutes. Amir Naderi's creations are spectacular; Especially for those who like to write. Love can be seen in a glance and without eyes in the moments of this short film. A boy who makes love with ice molds poured into a crystal container by the same hand with three bangles. It is painful to make love!

Bowtie was made in 1973 by Franklin Schaffner and it can be safely said that it is one of the most important films in the history of cinema. It was the second time I saw the old version of the bowtie. Another version of this movie was also made in 2017. The performances of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman are so charming that there is no need to describe them.

The butterfly tattoo on the bowtie's chest and that charming sequence where he opened his collar and said to the butterfly merchant: "How much would you charge to send this butterfly to America?" And that final sequence, when he finally manages to escape and shouts: "I'm still alive, you bastards!", is one of the most unforgettable sequences of this film. Papillon is in praise of freedom, although people's beliefs about freedom differ. Especially the final part of the film, which shows the difference between Papion and Degas' views on freedom.

The film was made in 2020 and maybe for Iranians, Golshifteh Farahani's performance in it is more attractive than the story, games and excitement of the film. A criminal's son is kidnapped by a drug kingpin and another group is supposed to rescue this boy. The movie is very action packed. There are many violent scenes and bloodshed and these things. Cinematography is almost flawless and the scenes are attractive in terms of image. It is said that the film will have a second part. I didn't have a special feeling about the movie and it can only be said that it is an action movie and it is tolerable for those who enjoy this genre. Maybe the attraction of the story was not so much or the fact that the film was Bollywood and Hollywood was not pleasant for me. But it is not a movie that I want to see its sequels and that is interesting to me.

The film was made in 1959. The story of several people who want to leave Hungary and an English woman who is in love with a wounded and fugitive Hungarian man and the details that happen to them on the way and stopping at the Austrian border. The movie is old and I did not expect much from the story and games. I was not very happy with this movie and actually did not like it very much. Of course, it cannot be ignored that the film is about the narrative of an important historical period. The acting of the actors was also acceptable. I saw this movie with old dubbing, which in some places was not dubbed at all.

Grassland is a fascinating movie. It can be said that the audience is faced with three stories. Two stories that are before and after the main story. The first story with which the film begins is perhaps a sign of the investigator's mistake, and the second story, which is the story of a man and a woman and their daughter for whom they want a birth certificate, is perhaps a sign of the investigator's compassion. The main story, which is the basis of the film, shows the law-abiding nature of the investigator to the audience. As if I have to say again that I wish Pejman Jamshidi had not wasted his life on football and would have come to the cinema sooner. Good acting, interesting story has made Alafzar one of the acceptable movies of Iranian cinema in the last few years.

The illegal version of this film was released on the Internet and everyone saw it. Laila Brothers is a good movie. Like many movies with this style and style, we liked it, because its people were similar to the people of this society and their problems are similar to our own problems or those around us. This lifestyle that we have seen many examples of in Iranian cinema in recent years. The amount of misery and problems in this kind of families is high, and when they reach fleeting happiness, they show another facet of their personality. Even if we consider this genre of social films in Iranian cinema to be repetitive, they are still not far from the reality of society. Anyway, the movie is well made and worth sitting and watching for two and a half hours, but I wish it hadn't been released illegally.

The film is produced in 2022 and is one of the most thought-provoking films I have seen recently. Maybe I have seen examples of this situation where someone gets stuck in space and has no way back and forth in other movies like Buried, where someone was stuck in a coffin with a flashlight and a cell phone. The atmosphere of Fall is a bit different and the only ways of hope are still technology and mobile. This movie is extremely exciting and is recommended to watch. In fact, loneliness and being stuck in difficult situations is narrated from a scary angle that we may have seen less examples like. It is one of the films that we prefer not to take our eyes off of so as not to miss even a moment.

The film was produced in 2000 and has three episodes that are connected in a way in the content, and that is the sufferings of being a woman. The film's dialogues are not slogans, even though famous actors are not used, but in less than an hour and a half, the film speaks for itself. It may be boring for many, but it has valuable content. That a girl is given the last day of childhood, that a woman just wants to ride a bike and she is not allowed, that a woman wants to buy things that she has dreamed of all her life. Perhaps one of the strong points of this movie is that the characters act and not everything goes with dialogue. In fact, nothing is explained and we see and perceive everything.

The film was produced in 2017 and looks at the Iran-Iraq war from a different angle. This time the story does not take place in the atmosphere of war and everything is behind the story. Where families are waiting for men who are busy fighting to defend their family and land. This genre is almost rare in this genre, and maybe we have seen less movies with this angle. The acting of the actors is almost perfect, and Parinaz Izadyar and Tanaz Tabatabai are still good. Although the story is ultimately left unfinished and leaves everything up to the audience, but throughout the story, the narrative is so good that one can sit down and enjoy the film.

The film is produced in 2018 and directed by Steve McQueen. The story of theft and its methods are always attractive, and now if the process of preparing conditions for theft is explained in detail, it becomes much more attractive. The film is about the widows of thieves who faced financial problems after the death of their husbands and now they are forced to commit theft. It is still open to question how successful this film can be among films with the theme of robbery and get a good score from the audience. Although some say it's a fun movie, the reality is that contrary to what you'd expect from a heist movie, the pace of this movie isn't too fast and everything moves slowly. Anyway, Steve McQueen, like the film Shame, has shown an unusual trend, and this time women play the role of thieves, which even in some scenes of the film, lead to unexpected events.

The film is produced in 2013 and has two sides of Simon's character, which is not clear whether it is his twin or another side of his character that he wants to be and cannot be. The atmosphere of the movie is a bit surreal and everything seems strange. One side of Simon's personality is neither able to express love nor successful at work, and another side of his personality, which is revealed over time, is a seductive personality for women and extremely successful at work. If we divide the film into four parts, the first three parts almost define the narrative and in the last part everything falls apart and one side of Simon's character tries to prove that the other side is not himself and is someone else. It can be said that the atmosphere of the film is Kafkaian and it is as if we are reading a story by Kafka. It is hard to watch and it is actually not an attractive film for the average cinema audience.

It is a mini series with 5 episodes and of course very well made. The story is not something strange, but it has a proper perspective and attention to the life story of a couple and the events of their lives, and maybe the climax of the story happens in the last part, and a longing and a look at all that is lost. There are many thoughtful details throughout the story, and perhaps by putting all these details together, we can reach good reasons for changing people's behavior. Behavioral changes that are both age-related and depend on the mutual behaviors of people in a relationship. It is a good series and is recommended.

Houman Seyyedi has found his own genre. It's as if Houman Seyyedi's signature is at the bottom of the film, even if his name is not in the credits as the director and producer and writer and editor of this film. The brilliant performance of Mohsen Tanabandeh in this film cannot be easily overlooked. The simple story of the film moves slowly, but it reaches the climax and attracts the audience and leaves the audience speechless like the female character of the film. You can see how a character can sink into the role he is playing and how a dictator can devour his actor in this movie. In general, it can be said that this movie is attractive and has a different place among the recent movies of Iranian cinema.

This movie is from 2012 and it seems like "Django" has different versions. A western movie is always interesting and like all other movies of this type it is worth your time. These types of movies have their own charm and when it is made by Tarantino, you can't resist it anymore and you have to see the movie. Although there have been criticisms about the violence in this film, it must be accepted that this genre cannot be imagined without violence, and basically, without violence, the Western has no meaning. The performances of the actors are acceptable and one can enjoy a movie in the western genre and one should not expect more.
