Wissenswertes
Director Mohammad Rasoulof was originally scheduled to take part in the 2023 Cannes Film Festival as a jury member of the Un Certain Regard section. However, he was arrested in July 2022 after criticising the government's crackdown on protestors in the southwestern city of Abadan in Iran over deadly building collapse. On May 8, 2024, Rasouloff's lawyer announced that he has been sentenced to eight years in prison as well as flogging, a fine and confiscation of his property. On May 12, 2024, Rasouloff announced that he managed to flee Iran and was staying at an undisclosed location in Europe. On May 24, 2024, Rasouloff attended the film's premiere in Cannes and on the red carpet he held up photos of two of the film's actors, Soheila Golestani and Missagh Zareh.

Crazy Credits
Opening credits: "Ficus Religiosa is a tree with an unusual life cycle. It seeds, contained in bird droppings, fall on other trees. Aerial roots spring up and grow down to the floor. Then, the branches wrap around the host tree and strangle it. Finally, the sacred fig stands on its own."

Brave, thrilling and powerful

The Seed of the Sacred Fig was one of the most expected premieres in Cannes due to the backstory of its creation. A film shot in secret in Iran, that led to its director and cast being sentenced to prison and lashing. So, would the movie be able to live up to the expectations despite its complicated production?

What followed was not a film, it was a MOLOTOV COCKTAIL! An incredibly brave, powerful and moving tale of morality, paranoia and resistance. The third act had people talking, but makes perfect sense to me in its symbolic context. If before the movie Rasoulof and his crew already received a big standing ovation due to the film's background, the emotive standing ovation it received after the screening was even more enthusiastic, with the also Iranian director and fellow Palme competitor Ali Abassi encouraging people to stand up and cheer.

The Seed of the Scared Fig did, unfortunately, not win the Palme d'Or in the end, and had to settle for a minor Special Jury Prize. But still, it would have been my choice for the main prize, and won over my and many other people's hearts. Women, Life, Freedom!
