Terrestrial Verses (2023)
Terrestrial Verses (2023) - Comedy Movies 77 minutes. Ayeh haye zamini, Crônicas do Irã, 我還有話說, 人间诗句. A satirical take on the mundane absurdities of life in modern-day Iran, these nine vignettes illuminate the lighter side of enduring under authoritarian rule. Whether choosing a name for a newborn, graduating from grade school, getting a driver’s license, applying for a job, or seeking approval for a film script, if you live in Iran, you best come fluent in Orwellian discourse. Progressing along a rough timeline from birth to death, each story is shot in a static camera angle as a single petitioner negotiates with an authority figure hovering just outside of frame, who is practiced in the language of doublespeak. corruption, bureaucracy, sexism, iran, oppression, abuse of power, iranian regime
