[olafkardanadam]

Herkesin hayatı kendine tabii… Ama içi boşaltılmış her şeyin zararı hepimize. Aşk da öyle... Aşk sorumluluk ister. Öyle midemde kelebekler uçuşuyor, aklım beş karış havada gibi bir şey değil bu. Havadaki aklını rüzgâr alır, midendeki kelebekler ölür, ve adı konmayan her şey yok olup gider.

Ben seninle bir yaz gecesi, hafif esen rüzgârın sesinde, inceden üşüyerek ama “yok, üşümedim” havalarında bir sohbete dalmak isterdim. Sessizliğin içinde, kelimelerin birbirimize çarpa çarpa anlam bulmasını… Gözlerinin karanlıkta parlayışını izlemeyi… Söylenmeyen her cümlenin içimizi ısıtmasını… Ve aşkın, bir anlık heves değil, yanında durmayı bilmek olduğunu anlatmayı isterdim.

Ama işte… Bazı rüzgârlar sadece eser, bazı kelimeler söylenmeden kaybolur, ve bazı aşklar… Hep bir yaz gecesinde üşüyerek kalır.

"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 (15): High Drama for a Family Caught on the Wrong Side of a Revolution.

One Mann's Movies Film Review of "The Seed of the Sacred Fig". A tense and brilliantly produced Iranian political thriller. 4.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” (2024). Original title: Dâne-ye anjîr-e ma’âbed A caption at the start of the film discloses that this film was made in secret. And you can see why. The Iranian authorities have not reacted well to it, sentencing the director Mohammad Rasoulof to 8 years in prison (he had to flee the country). They also promised retribution on the cast…

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 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.
