“You shouldn’t have told your family about your work.” 🇮🇷 Neon has revealed the official US trailer for the acclaimed, award-winning Iranian film The Seed of the Sacred Fig, the latest film from writer & director Mohammad Rasoulof. This first premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it won a Special Jury Prize; it then went on to play at the Telluride, Toronto, and New York Film Festivals this fall. Shot entirely in secret, Rasoulof’s award-winning thriller, The Seed of the Sacred Fig, centers on a family thrust into the public eye when Iman is appointed as an investigating judge in the capital city of Tehran, Iran. As political unrest erupts in the streets, Iman realizes that his job is even more dangerous than expected, making him increasingly paranoid and distrustful, even of his own wife Najmeh and daughters Sana and Rezvan. A tragic tale of how paranoia corrupts good people. Starring Misagh Zare, Soheila Golestani, Mahsa Rostami, Setareh Maleki, Niousha Akhshi, Reza Akhlaghi, Shiva Ordooei, and Amineh Arani. This is also one of my favorite films of 2024 (my review) and I hope people take the time to watch it when it opens soon. // Continue Reading ›
