Before the Olive Tree: No Lover

London 2022-04-19 09:02:45

In my movie library, there are really not many Iranian movies, but I have seen a few before, such as "Taxi", "A Farewell", "Little Shoes", "Salesman", "About Yili", Including the cartoon "I grew up in Iran", I feel that Iranian films are few but refined, with a simple and sincere style, very distinctive and impressive, and some plots are even more unforgettable.

"The Lover Under the Olive Tree" is also an impressive movie, but, unlike the above movies, it is deeply impressed because of the unbearable repetition from beginning to end, rambling nonsense and dullness . Without a strong will, it is difficult to persevere in watching this movie.

On the contrary, the rich and poor, landlords and peasants, the homeowners and the proletarians, the illiterate and the literate complement each other's advantages, and the mutual cooperative marriage concept advocated by the film is quite surreal.

The lover under the olive tree has finally become a transcription under this concept. The audience in front of the olive tree, I am afraid that they will not like this movie at all.
