andrea c @Charst Dec 12, 2022 Intenso ed emozionante dramma suddiviso in quattro storie, tutte legate all'applicazione della pena di morte in Iran e alle sue conseguenze per le forze dell'ordine che sono costrette a lavorare in quell'ambito. La scelta del regista è di costruire 4 differenti trame, tutte con protagonisti dei militari o ex tali e delle dolorose scelte a cui devono sottostare per la sopravvivenza con annesse ed altrettanto dure conseguenze. Senza dubbio le prime due storie sono quelle a maggior impatto; due militari e due trame agli antipodi che a loro modo incollano allo schermo e colpiscono nel segno. Le seconde due trame, pur di qualità, puntano maggiormente sulle conseguenze interiori delle scelte fatte, ed essendo poste consecutivamente dopo già un'ora di film, sono leggermente più difficili da seguire. Film meraviglioso per accuratezza e per il rapporto tra delicatezza e durezza del mondo Iraniano. Sceneggiatura splendida.

See more Jon T @jon_talbot56 Jan 25, 2022 This is not a film for all the family anymore than it is grim faced mullahs. Nor is it, God forbid, a date movie. It is a serious, adult (in the true sense, not a euphemism) film about a very serious subject. It works as drama and asks all of us the most profound of questions. Over the years l have seen a number of Iranian films. This is by far the best. For me, a masterpiece.

Iran's enthusiasm for capital punishment gets exposed in terms of its impact on both its soldiers and citizens. Each story is well acted and coherent, presenting four different takes on the dire consequences that befall executioners and those who love them. I would give the film higher marks if the director had not so scrupulously avoided the Islamic "honor" killings that routinely cause family members to murder each other.
