Mohammad Rasoulof on The Seed of the Sacred Fig | NYFF62

[@4spikers]

Thank you, Mr. Rasoulof, for your extraordinary courage and passion in providing the world with this compelling drama exposing Iran's totalitarian regime. The film is a powerful statement of oppressive rule within Iranian society at the cost of your own personal safety. Many blessings upon you and prayers for your own safety, as well as, your family, the cast and crew. Thank you to all parties involved in the making of the film and to those who helped with getting the film to the festivals.

The poster for the movie The Seeds of the Sacred Fig Tree was everywhere in the city. Last night I went with my wife to see it. When we entered the hall, I looked around and realized that all the seats were taken, mainly by people with light or blond hair. Maybe we were the only Iranians there. The movie was shown in German and I translated some parts for my wife. The speed at which information was conveyed was slow. Nevertheless, this deliberate pace allowed for a deep exploration of the mental states of the characters and the cruel environment in which they operate. The plot revolves around Iman, an investigating judge at the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, who becomes increasingly paranoid as the nationwide Mahsa Amini protests intensify. The movie lasts 168 minutes. For the Germans, it was perhaps a good movie. They followed every scene closely, but we lived these moments in reality.
