The Persian Version (2023)
Iranian Film of the year
Almodovar meets Wes Anderson in this hilarious movie by Maryam Keshavarz. The Persian Version is without a doubt a wonderful film that reflects the life of Iranian immigrants in the United States. Though the movie is largely a comedy, it also touches on deep social subject matters such as generational trauma and family secrets. It also has a stellar cast, led by Layla Mohammad, that perfectly portrays the world conceived by the incredibly talented Keshavarz. The cinematography is exquisite.
The Persian Version is clearly an instant classic and the Iranian film of the year. It is not to be missed!
For I Am Dead (2022)
Magnificent Performance
This film is a masterpiece. Al Nazemian's performance as Oscar lends life to the mysterious nature of desire. Nazemian's depiction of the torments of last love is one of the strongest performances in contemporary film. He deserves the highest commendations and the greatest awards for acting. The cinematography and score also function in perfect harmony with the plot, making this film a must-see.
I highly recommend For I Am Dead to anyone who is interested in an intoxicating story with great performances that continue to live with you after the final credits have rolled.
Ten out of ten stars.
