Movie of the Day: Terrestrial Verses (2023) by Ali Asgari, Alireza Khatami

The format is simple: nine short stories about nine ordinary Iranian citizens in conversation with people in positions of power. The authorities remain out of the picture – we only see the citizens, obediently behind a desk. In this mosaic spectacle, directors Ali Asgari (Until Tomorrow) and Alireza Khatami (Los versos del olvido) show the social, cultural and religious obstacles the Iranian population faces. 11 wins & 10 nominations international film festivals.
