Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSome scenes were actually filmed in Tehran secretly. The Iranian government would not allow an Israel filmmaker to film in the streets of Tehran so Yuval Adler hired a German film company who then hired a French film company to shoot scenes in Tehran and never told the citizens what it was for.
- GoofsWhen Rachel is entering Iran, at passport control the agent speaks to the agent next to him, and the captions say he's speaking in Arabic. The language of Iran is Persian (also called Farsi), which has no relationship to Arabic.
- Quotes
Farhad: The people here all have many secrets. There's too many rules in Iran. So... If uh, you want to drink, you keep it a secret. You marry a woman who is a... Yu understand. She, she had sex. You keep it secret. If you go to a party or a cultural thing too controversial, you keep it secret. You don't want to fast on Ramadan? Eat in secret. It's the way of life here. Like a second nature.
Featured review
Nowadays many movies are being watched while the viewer is occupied by something else. No not that (though I am not judging if you do that while watching a movie), rather something like surfing or generally doing something on your phone/tablet. This movie can not be enjoyed that way nor can you win any satisfying experience either.
Diane Kruger is amazing in this movie and she once again proves that she can carry a movie. I really dig her performance here. Strong, yet fragile. Tough and vulnerable at the same time. Tension filled from start to finish, you really do care for her and her wishes. I love the shades of grey ... not everything is good, not everything is bad. Also when people are involved, it is tough to detach oneself from something or someone. Not to mention that you could argue that some things are ... well wouldn't happen if one wouldn't tease someone and more or less make them do things ... they otherwise wouldn't do
