imprisoned country

Through dialogue and pseudo-documentary, we see the life of that country and the people in that environment.

A smiling waiter in a convenience store can turn into a robber in a blink of an eye, and still his face remains unchanged. A middle-aged man who hails a taxi on the side of the road, can have a wanton discussion of applauding the death penalty, but he is a thief and so on.

The characters in the taxi constantly reflect other personalities, turning into a kind of black humorous satire

in such an environment of losing freedom, poverty, and being monitored at any time. If you want to watch foreign movies, you can only buy discs secretly, and you want to make movies. The students of the show have lost the power of imagination under countless strict regulations, and the director of the play has no freedom to accept the award even after winning the award.

The special shooting method, on the contrary, reflects the misery of such a country more realistically.

How far are those who try to resist, and can those oppressed wills be able to strike back?

There is no answer. It's as if at the end of the movie, the video that was finally completed was stolen by the surveillance people, every step is so difficult.

    Unexpectedly, it was so funny, many laughter turned the audience. Too much resemblance to the heavenly dynasty is therefore particularly sympathetic. The whole film is seen in Iranian society through different passengers in a taxi, breaking the boundaries of reality and reality, and finally fulfilling the director's political demands, and expressing his love for the film. This kind of film cannot be disliked.

    To show the life of Tehran from the perspective of the car, Jaffa Panasi is not the first person in Iranian movies. His master, Abbas, has already played this trick in "Ten Life Resonance". It is said that Panasi wanted to make a documentary at first, but it was not easy to operate, so it had to be a "pseudo documentary". The film is actually not as exciting as some of Panasi's previous works, but he must add a star to shoot such a work in a trapped situation!
