Pardehe Akhar (1991)

Massihi's only feature film is the best Iranian film ever

The Last act is one of the most important films made in Iran after the revolution. Karim Massihi uses very interesting method for the narration of the film in which although the it has a very complex story, the film's narration is so simple. Definitely The Last Act is one of the best Iranian films in terms of the acting specifically Nikoo kheredaman and Mahaya Petrosian did wonderful performance. From the very beginning the story is established on lies which disturb the audience. However, at the end instead of the audience the director (Kamran Mirza) decide to fool the producer (Tajolmoluk). This shift at the end shows that the director is more concerned about the prestige of the work and his audience rather than the producer.
