Explain bros why is a small poor country like Iran so good at making Kino?
>>78935345
Iran isn't poor at all. It's also a theocracy and those deprive people of basic civic liberties.
Cherry-picking. You only see the good ones. Besides Farhadi is good at appealing to liberals hipsters who think watching foreign cinema helps them learn about other cultures
>>78935345
watched a separation. holy crap what a big letdown
>>78935345
Isn't it just one guy there who makes good movies?
Iran isn't small though. Persian culture has always been rich and it's a very complex and old civilisation. No wonder their cultural output in movies is good.

>long shots of iranians acting like sandniggers
>vague ending that resolves nothing
>>78935390
Kiarostami, Panahi, Farhadi are all Iranian directors worth checking out.

Iranians are experts at appealing to the western narcissism. There is no Japanese ennui, no Irish grit, no sense of awe for the miniscule human experiences. Iranians are so narcissistic that they present themselves as the rulers of nature. So every year you get a new Faradi or Kiarostami trash that wins international awards, while their government stones women to death.

>Iranians are so narcissistic
Why is this such a constant in their people and culture? Even their descendants who have nothing to do with the country's current culture have trouble dealing with their own huge egos.
>>78936494
>Jews thrive in the American film industry
>make some of the best kino
>Israeli films are lackluster shlock
This I don't understand.
>>78935345
Iran has been making kino for decades now.

only the ones found in the west.
iranian cinema blows. go get beat by police fags.
>>78936414
Very well said. Is it any wonder that the narcissists on letterboxd who masturbate to videos of themselves watching obscure foreign cinema worship hollow shells like Kiarostami? That's really the beginning and end of "worthwhile" Iranian cinema - intellectual and civilized posturing hiding primitivity and savagery, much like their culture.
