Taxi

Surprisingly (relatively) lighthearted, this pseudo-documentary uses taxi passengers to reflect part of Iran's reality, such as the large gap between rich and poor, the issue of capital punishment (stealing is punishable by hanging?), and women's rights. There are also some absurd and brisk contents, such as two middle-aged and elderly female passengers who said that they should block the bathroom window to prevent someone from peeking at their beautiful body. At the same time, they superstitiously rely on raising goldfish to survive, and the husband in the car accident thought he was When I was about to die, I quickly recorded a will to leave the house to my wife. After that, my wife still asked for a video of the will when her husband was fine.

One of the highlights is the use of the little girl to express her dissatisfaction with the film censorship system. The little girl said that the teacher asked not to shoot sordid realism, but she didn't understand why she asked for the real but couldn't shoot the real reality~ After the flower lady who was banned from being a lawyer got off the bus, The little girl complained again. The witty dialogue between the little girl and the director who met for the first time in the film should be another highlight.

In the film, it can be seen that Iran is actually greatly influenced by American culture, whether it is American movies and American dramas that are secretly traded under the ban, or the iphone ipad used by the director and his friends and the Angry Birds-themed notebook used by the little girl

    Panassi's refined and witty realism won the 2015 Berlin Golden Bear. Iran’s social landscape is condensed into a taxi, covering issues such as death penalty, religion, women’s rights, politics and cultural tyranny, etc. As long as the pirates and the little niece are present, I can’t stop laughing, and I’m full of fascination with movies. Full. The method of placing the camera on the windshield of the taxi is the same as Abbas's "Rhythm of Ten Lives", with a few more hand-helds added. (8.5/10)

    Every square inch is full of life, some people are trying to survive, some people are dying, some people are full of life and full of expectations for everything; some people are old and full of anxiety about time. The camera is a window, and the director moves it constantly, but still cannot see the whole picture of society. Couldn't see the video footage on the tablet, couldn't catch the robbery man across the street, but recorded the sound of a broken window. Dedicate a flower to the movie, and also to the spark of light and shadow created by the collision of creativity and wisdom.

Taxi quotes

  • Nasrin Sotoudeh: They work in a way that let us to know they are watching us.Their tactics are obvious.First, they write you up a police record. Suddenly, you are accused of being an agent for Mossad, The CIA, or MI6. Then they tack on something about your morals, your lifestyle. They make your life into a prison.Although you are released from prison, but the outside world is only a bigger prison.They make your nearest friends into your worst enemies.After that you think all you can do is either leave the country or pray to return to that hole. So i think it's better to let it go.

  • Jafar Panahi: Those films are already made, those books are already written. You have to look elsewhere, you have to find it for yourself.
