beautiful movie

"Shahr-e Ziba" graces the screen with my 7/10 rating, and I have to say, I liked it. The acting captures the nuances of characters navigating the complexities of love and life in the bustling city of Tehran. The film editing weaves together interconnected stories, reflecting the chaotic beauty of urban existence. Its strength lies in its portrayal of the pursuit of dreams and the resilience of the human spirit amidst adversity. The music, infused with Persian melodies, adds emotional depth, and the cinematography paints a vivid tapestry of the city's vibrant streets and hidden corners. "Shahr-e Ziba" is a heartfelt ode to Tehran, a reminder that even in the midst of chaos, there is poetry to be found, and my liking for it is as enduring as the city's timeless charm.

Blood money for men vs. women

I effectively know nothing of blood money newer than the dark ages, but most of it dates from earlier times still. This movie is set in the present, but at the same time is in the dark ages, and is really meant to face us with the price of life, especially in the prices for the death of a woman against of a man, rage, retaliation, revenge, price of forgiveness, and the whole charade of dealing with this under the Islamic law.

There's nothing much to enjoy here, but there is a lot to understand.

Nonetheless, there is a strong recommendation to see it, as is gifts a lot humanity, connecting it with the viewer at very basic levels.

A must watch!

Farhadi and alidoosti's second and in my opinion best film. The film belongs to the time that he was interested in poor class people lives and hasn't shifted to intellectual middle class people. The only weakness of this film is its somehow tv like atmosphere and the reason is that Farhadi was new in cinema and before that had directed and written lots of TV masterpieces. Actually this film was one episode of his tv serie 'the story of a city," but because af its really dark and bitter story, he didn't get approval.

Victim's justice

In the west, there are occasional cries for so-called "victim's justice", where the person who suffers from a crime has a say in the treatment of the criminal: this deceptively simple film looks at how such a system works where it's actually practiced, under Islamic law in Iran. At first, the movie's set-up seems primitive, and there seems to be undue absence of emphasis on the crime itself: the immediately sympathetic characters all claim that their friend, a murderer, "doesn't deserve to die", but this is merely asserted and never proved. But as the film proceeds, it becomes clear that this is not the point: instead we see how, with the final verdict put in the hands of the dead person's father, responsibility for the killer's fate in passed onto those (both the father and also those who must plead with him for clemency) who cannot deal with it, and who will find no closure through being asked to take it on. The film's depiction of the role of women in an Islamic society is also perceptive and interesting. The subtle ending perfectly concludes a quiet tragedy that ultimately delivers more than is promised at the start.

Zitate
Mr. Ghafouri: You have to make the decision.
A'la: I can't. That's why I'm here.
Mr. Ghafouri: Does his sister love you ?
A'la: A lot.
Mr. Ghafouri: Can you forget her ?
A'la: No.
Mr. Ghafouri: Marry her then.
A'la: What about Akbar then ?
Mr. Ghafouri: Do you know why Akbar killed that girl ?
A'la: He loved her. How can you kill someone you love ?
Mr. Ghafouri: He didn't want for someone else to have her. What would you do if you were in Akbar's shoe ? Would you have killed the girl as well ?
A'la: I'd have forgotten her.
Mr. Ghafouri: So you can forget someone you love. Right ? You can forget Akbar's sister too, if that's possible.
A'la: No, it's not.
Mr. Ghafouri: Remember Shahin ?
A'la: Yeah.
Mr. Ghafouri: Remember why he had committed murder? They didn't have the money to pay for her mother's debts... So they had to kill the guy.
A'la: Yeah.
Mr. Ghafouri: Shahin didn't have a father. He loved his mother. He didn't want her mother to go to prison for her heavy debt. He couldn't bear it. He killed the man in order not to lose his mother. Do you think he did the right thing ?
A'la: No.
Mr. Ghafouri: What would you do ? Would you have killed the guy or have forgotten your mother ?
A'la: I'd have forgotten my mother.
Mr. Ghafouri: So it is possible to forget someone you love.
A'la: No it's not. I can't.
Mr. Ghafouri: It's easy to tell others to forget. The judges who gave death sentences to Akbar and Shahin and others... They too thought the same.
A'la: What should I do Mr. Ghafouri?
Mr. Ghafouri: I would have forgotten about Akbar's sister if I were you. But I may fall in love some day and won't be able to forget. Even if it's at the price of someone's death.
