The Report

In zijn eerste langspeelfilm duikt Abbas Kiarostami in het leven van een belastinginner in Teheran, die worstelt met persoonlijke en professionele crises. Hoewel dit verhaal eenvoudig lijkt, kaart het de complexe thema's van existentiële angst, maatschappelijke druk en morele dilemma's aan, die het Iraanse sociaal-politieke landschap tijdens het tijdperk voor de islamitische revolutie weerspiegelen.

SYMPOSIUM
Close Up on Abbas Kiarostami
- Cinemaximiliaan ⁄ 90'
Since the Islamic revolution in 1979, a strict political regime effected Iranian cinema by imposing a strong censorship which forced filmmakers to adapt their work. Probably the most internationally acclaimed director who gained international fame during this period is Abbas Kiarostami. Based on his early pre-Islamic revolution work, this symposium takes a look at Kiarostami’s artistic evolution and the broader context of The Report during the last years before the revolution. This film is not just a film but a critical commentary on the individual's struggle against systemic constraints. Its power lies in the raw, unadorned depiction of everyday life, a hallmark of his later masterpieces.
