Synopsis wrote:
Investigating judge Iman grapples with paranoia amid political unrest in Tehran. When his gun vanishes, he suspects his wife and daughters, imposing draconian measures that strain family ties as societal rules crumble.

A work of political resistance was smuggled out of the exiled director’s native Iran. Awarded the Jury Special Prize in Cannes, and set against a backdrop of women-led protests, The Seed of the Sacred Fig is a fierce study of patriarchal oppression.

Plainly but nonetheless effectively handled, “The Twilight” relates a case of prison recidivism with the real-life subjects playing themselves. Chance to glimpse incarceration and ex-con life in Iran will hold attention for foreign viewers, though this very modest, earnest exercise in old-school social problem cinema ultimately proves that the related issues are pretty much the same the world over. Fest and educational play are signaled.

Docudrama commences with Ali-Reza Shalikaran, a 34-year-old inmate who’s spent most of his life in custody for theft, noted as a habitual problem by his warden. Latter wisely realizes that a prison job change will soften Ali’s oft-flaring temper, then has a further brainstorm: Wouldn’t Ali truly “settle down” if he were to find a wife among the female prisoners? This leads to courtship and wedlock with Fatemeh Bijan (very stiff on-screen). Soon pregnant thanks to weekly conjugal visits, she’s released a few months before his term ends. But their attempt at starting over is thwarted by fact that no one wants to hire an ex-con. Simply shot on actual locations, feature has a rough-hewn naturalism that’s engaging, despite some awkward dramatic moments.

Working in defiance of a lifelong ban on filmmaking, dissident director Mohammad Rasoulof delivers a piercing drama about a subject he knows well: the costs of living under a repressive, brutal government. Winner of the Golden Bear, the top prize at the Berlin Film Festival, There Is No Evil is a film of four chapters; each tells a different story related to the death penalty in contemporary Iran.

The first story concerns a family man who, as we come to see, pays a grave moral price for his comfortable middle-class life. The second and third chapters portray conscripted soldiers; in Iran, it is they who are often forced to perform executions, and both segments explore the tension and turmoil that can come with such harsh coercion. The final section involves a family secret, and it brings the film to a powerful conclusion. Suspenseful, mysterious and shot through with a sense of urgency, Rasoulof’s work bears the mark of an artist who sets his own terms – and who knows just how to captivate an audience.

Plot Synopsis From Allmovie:
Iran is a nation where the government carefully regulates what its citizens may see on television, read in the newspapers, or access on the internet. However, despite the country’s repressive policies, many people enjoy news and entertainment outside the purview of their leaders, and filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof examines what Iranians are viewing on the sly and how they find it in the documentary Baad-e-daboor (aka Head Wind). In order to watch television programming not on the official approved list, well-to-do Iranians need little more than to purchase a satellite dish, which can easily be hidden on their property (and homeowners can use the defense that unauthorized channels were supposed to be blocked on their system). The less fortunate can rent time from folks with portable antennas that use high-powered signal amplifiers capable of picking up broadcasts from outside the country. Bootleg DVD’s have also become a booming market in Iran, featuring films not officially released in the nation, though some pirate distributors buffer the sex and violence along with adding Farsi subtitles to their product. And while federal regulators block access to a wide variety of websites, proxy sites hosted within and outside Iran are bringing the digital revolution to the Middle East in undiluted form. While some customers of forbidden media are just looking for entertainment, many believe that by pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable they’re forcing the government’s hand towards a more enlightened position. Head Wind received its North American premiere at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival.

The post Mohammad Rasoulof – Baad-e-daboor AKA Head Wind (2008) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Heshmat, an exemplary husband and father, gets up very early every day. Where does he go? Pouya cannot imagine killing another man, yet he is told he must do so. Javad doesn’t know that proposing to his beloved won’t be the only surprise on her birthday. Bahram is a physician but is unable to practice medicine. He has decided to explain to his visiting niece the reason for his life as an outcast. The four stories that comprise Sheytan vojud nadarad (There Is No Evil) offer variations on the crucial themes of moral strength and the death penalty, asking to what extent individual freedom can be expressed under a despotic regime and its seemingly inescapable threats. Mohammad Rasoulof only creates a loose narrative link between these stories, and yet they are all tragically and inexorably connected. In the context of structural oppression, choice seems to be limited to either resisting or surviving. But with each abruptly interrupted story, we are urged to consider how men and women can assert their freedom even in such situations.
