Mani Haghighi stars and directs a cinematic tale about a strange duo make their way through Iran distributing bags of cash to needy people. THE Hollywood REPORTER

A perversely fascinating drama about a man and a woman making their way through a war-torn, mountainous region, dispensing large sums of money in plastic bags from the back of their SUV, “Modest Reception” is extremely well made, eminently watchable, but not especially likable or satisfying. The likability factor comes into play because, as part of their mysterious game, the arrogant, amoral protagonists attach sadistic conditions to their handouts, humiliating (and worse) their beneficiaries. Helmer Mani Haghighi’s original, disturbing picture feels more universal than particularly Iranian, and as such is ripe for remake; further fests and niche arthouses beckon. VARIETY

The post Saeed Roustayi – Baradaran-e Leila AKA Leila’s Brothers (2022) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

On their way back from a wild party, Arineh and Nobahar cause a car accident. A mysterious stranger by the name of Toofan offers to cover the costs. This won’t be the last time they’ll cross his path over the course of the night. Cars form a popular setting in Iranian cinema. They move through the public sphere, yet their occupants remain among themselves. But what happens if a policeman suddenly gets into your vehicle, finds black market DVDs and forces you to admit, tipsily, that Argo is a film hostile to Iran? This road movie through Tehran by night begins as a hyperactive, drugged-up farce that pokes fun at the authorities, interprets the cultural history of Western toilets, and postulates other daring intercultural theories. Yet gradually the atmosphere changes and tension steadily rises in the car, thanks to Toofan, who keeps appearing again and again out of the blue. He plays a diabolical game with the two friends, one that crosses the boundaries into the metaphysical realm. As fanciful and spooky as the plot may seem, it is clearly anchored in Iran’s present.

Directed by multi-award winning filmmaker Asghar Farhadi, ‘Beautiful City’ is a cinematic gem not to be missed. Akbar has just turned eighteen. He has been held in a rehabilitation centre for committing murder at the age of sixteen when he was condemned to death. Legally speaking, he had to reach the age of eighteen so that the conviction could be carried out. Now, Akbar is transferred to prison to await the day of his execution. A’la, a friend of Akbar, who himself has undergone imprisonment for burglary, soon after his release tries desperately to gain the consent of Akbar’s plaintiff so as to stop the execution. ‘Beautiful City’ is a simple film about the power of forgiveness.
