Amir (2018) Iranian writer-director Nima Eghlima's first
feature (festivalscope.com)
Karlovy Vary IFF 2018 :: Section: East of the West -
Competition
Amir is a film about
contemporary Iran, about a generation whose private lives are determined more by
the rules of society than by their own will.
We
meet 30-something Amir at a point in his life where he has become the epicentre
of other people’s problems. His friend’s ex-wife has gone missing, having
threatened to leave the country with the couple’s son; his grown-up sister is
desperate to leave home despite their parents’ fierce efforts to keep the family
together. It isn’t clear whether Amir intends to help all of them, but no-one’s
asking him to…
Nima Eghlima’s feature debut is a film about a
contemporary Iranian generation that is subject to so many rules there’s no room
for free will. Using resourceful image-framing and precision camerawork he
articulates issues that are still taboo, but that doesn’t make them any less
pressing. -- Anna
