Inleiding

Cannes 2023 – Sélection Officielle – Un Certain Regard

“What we wanted to express in this film is the way in which power can control your personal life. It’s this conflict between power and individuals in society.”

Ali Asgari.

Synopsis

Nine chapters feature everyday people navigating between cultural, religious and institutionally imposed constraints in contemporary Iran. These vivid stories, both humorous and poignant, show the vitality and determination of people in adversity, and are a nuanced portrait of a complex society.

Synopsis

Nine chapters feature everyday people navigating between cultural, religious and institutionally imposed constraints in contemporary Iran. These vivid stories, both humorous and poignant, show the vitality and determination of people in adversity, and are a nuanced portrait of a complex society.

Inspired by the intricate rhymes of ghazal, a classic form of Persian poetry, writer-directors Ali Asgari and Alireza Khatami have constructed a thoroughly modern work of bracing concision, elegance and blistering deadpan humor, one that pulses with sorrow and outrage over the absurdity of authoritarian dictates that aim to crush souls.
The Hollywood Reporter
Like characters in “Waiting for Godot”, the citizens in “Terrestrial Verses” are similarly caught in a waiting game to nowhere under the facility of totalitarian rule. This film is as muted in its approach to character and drama as its color palette, but the result is devastating.
Indie Wire
Putting the viewer in the uncomfortable position of interviewer/interrogator in nine encounters between everyday Iranians and some manner of authority figure, this is punchy first-person filmmaking, from the point of view of the last person you want to be.
