Another exploration of Iranian cinematic colors

"The Past" is a film that Farhadi filmed in France, which continues the style and characteristics of Farhadi's films. The plot is intricate and complex, focusing on the complex relationship between men and women, the impact of divorced families on children, and moral issues in one movie. The handling of the scene is methodical, and each character has its proper weight. And the script is well thought out, well conceived, and the dialogue is brilliant. The film uses a layer-by-layer approach, slowly pushing the audience from one climax to another.
Although this film focuses on family life, it is not only concerned with the love of children in a family, but spreads the two themes of filial piety and love to the ethical and responsibility disputes between two families. What is impressive is that several times in the film, the film uses the image technique of pulling out the dialogue to express the reality that the hero and heroine are in love but have poor communication.
Strictly speaking, this film is not an Iranian film. The social, political, religious and other expressions and symbols in Iranian films have been hidden, and instead convey pure emotion, human nature, its delicate narrative and inner rhythm, It exudes the melancholy and gentle temperament of European films. In particular, while depicting the inner trajectories of several main characters, he quietly digs out the core of the truth of the past, the depiction of complex relationships between characters, and the control of stories and emotions, which can also be called the color of Iranian films. another exploration.
