The Seed of the Sacred Fig

[porquevi]

"A Semente do Fruto Sagrado" (Dâne-ye anjîr-e ma'âbed) - cinema.

Filme iraniano, agora concorrente ao Oscar de filme estrangeiro, mas quando fui ainda não era. A história é que o diretor Mohammad. A trama é contra o regime ditatorial iraniano e acontece no meio dos protestos contra a morte de uma garota por não usar o véu da forma correta em 2022. O diretor foi preso, liberado e terminou o filme na Alemanha.

depois de ver: é um filme forte. e quase todo dentro de salas e quartos, já que foi feito em segredo. a parte final, cheia de correria atrapalha, mas não diminui a mensagem do filme.

Film Recommendation: The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) Written and Directed by Mohammad Rasoulof Starring Soheila Golestani, Missagh Zareh, Mahsa Rostami, Setareh Maleki, Niousha Akhshi

"Ficus Religiosa is a tree with an unusual life cycle. Its 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."

The Seed of the Sacred Fig

The story behind the film’s creation is almost as gripping as the film itself, an amalgamation of horror, domestic drama, political thriller, and subtle as a gun to the temple political allegory about contemporary Iran. One of the best things I’ve seen this year.

The Seed of the Sacred Fig

The Seed of the Sacred Fig    [trailer]

Investigating judge Iman grapples with paranoia amid political unrest in Tehran. When his gun vanishes, he suspects his wife and daughters, imposing draconian measures that strain family ties as societal rules crumble.

The paranoia and fear that easily spreads when living under an oppressive regime.

The use of real phone recordings from protests in Iran provides context and shows this is not a mere theoretical piece of fiction.

Director Mohammad Rasoulof has numerously been arrested and sentenced in Iran and now has fled the country. You can say he knows the local justice system well.

The Girl With The Needle (15): A Stressful Rollercoaster That's Not For the Faint-Hearted.

One Mann's Movies Film Review of "The Girl With the Needle". A dark and brooding expressionist film about dark deeds in 1917 Copenhagen. Devastating. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “The Girl With The Needle” (2024). Original title: Pigen med nålen Another nominee for the International Oscar, “The Girl With The Needle” is Denmark’s entry and is a stressful watch. There are things that happen in this film that make you go “NO! SURELY NOT!” – so it is not for the faint-hearted. Bob the Movie Man Rating: Such an impressive expressionist…

Watched Seed of the Sacred Fig

Shatteringly familiar. The toxic seeds of political violence are spread so far. The oppressive force must be buried in history, through tremendous labor on the part of its victims. Solidarity forever.

Die Saat des heiligen Feigenbaums (Iran, 2024)

Schon bei der Viennale hatte ich versucht, Karten für diesen hochgelobten Film zu bekommen. Sie waren nach wenigen Minuten ausverkauft. Viele hatten von den gefährlichen Umständen der Entstehung des Films bereits bei den Filmfestspielen in Cannes erfahren, denn er wurde heimlich und unter gefährlichen Umständen im Iran gedreht. Der Regisseur konnte sich nur durch eine Flucht vor einer…

TIFF '24: 'The Seed of the Sacred Fig' Review

#TIFF24 The Seed of the Sacred Fig Review: "Once Rasoulof shifts to the more intimate familial issues, it becomes tension-filled & fast-paced to mirror the rising distress within the family. He layered these traditional values to build an impactful end."

By: Amanda Guarragi Motion pictures can shape our perception of the world. International films help give perspective to different socio-political and religious views not normally shown in Westernized media. Exposure to other countries helps shape our worldview and is vitally important to create compassion and empathy. At the same time, these films have universal themes that can affect…
