In Reply to: Your point is Iran's filmmakers live in such a repressive culture that they deserve greater recognition posted by Jazz Inmate on January 10, 2011 at 16:33:56:
...with your comment that Persian filmmakers "pale" as a group in comparison to any other group of filmmakers, Mexican or otherwise.You may prefer another school of movie making, but you do the Iranian directors a grave disservice by dismissing them so cavalierly.
My point was that these films by Iranian directors are outstanding movies on their own merits. Being oppressed doesn't make soone a good filmmaker. But sometimes, when every inch of film counts, and it is so difficult to create any work of art, oppression can be a catalyst to even greater expression - the passion becomes distilled - more intense, nothing wasted. I was pointing out the irony.
So what Iranian films have you seen besides the recent Perepolis HAVE you seen to be able to make such a blanket dismissal as you did above?
What is "many"?As I also said, I can understand matters of different taste and style preferences - Kiarostami is not a fast paced director - but I can't respect your position when you show that much disrespect for an acknowledged master.
