Iranian Cinema

Ohamaid Riozaa Osadr

4.9/5 (19135 ratings)

Description:Recent, post-revolutionary Iranian cinema has of course gained the attention of international audiences who have been struck by its powerful, poetic and often explicitly political explorations. Yet mainstream, pre-revolutionary Iranian cinema, with a history stretching back to the early twentieth century, has been perceived in the main as lacking in artistic merit and, crucially, as apolitical in content. This highly readable history of Iran as revealed through the full breadth of its cinema re-reads the films themselves to tell the full story of shifting political, economic and social situations. Sadr argues that embedded within even the seemingly least noteworthy of mainstream Iranian films, we find themes and characterisations which reveal the political contexts of their time and which express the ideological underpinnings of a society. Beginning with the introduction of cinema to Iran through the Iranian monarchy the book covers the broad spectrum of IranOCOs cinema, offering vivid descriptions of all key films. Iranian Cinema looks at recurring themes and tropes, such as the rural versus the OCycorruptOCO city and, recently, the preponderance of images of childhood, and asks what these have revealed about Iranian society. The author brings the story up to date explaining Iranian filmmaking after the events of September 11, from Mohsen MakhmalbafOCOs astonishing Kandahar to Saddiq BarmakOCOs angry work Osama, to explore this most recent and breathtaking revival in Iranian cinema."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
