Sir

Film Review + short interview: Sir (2018); Director: Rohena Gera.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 4/5. Such a touching eyeopener! Sir (2018) entails a social-cultural topic; that of segregation and class difference, but most importantly that of a particular kind of love that crosses boundaries.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 4/5. Wat een ontroerende ‘eyeopener’! Sir (2018) behandelt een een sociaal-cultureel onderwerp; die van segregatie en klasseverschil, maar nog belangrijker dat van een bepaald soort liefde dat grenzen overschrijdt. . .

AdoleCe

3 Faces

World Cinema Amsterdam, 3 Faces | Se rokh (2018) “..what’s real and when is it a staged scene?..”

“I thought 3 Faces (2018) was a good film. I do have to admit that I thought it was a documentary film because it seemed conveyed to me in that way by someone else, but it is a beautiful fiction film. The movie is about an actress (Behnaz Jafari) who is shocked by a video of a young girl who says that she also wants to become an actress, but her family prevents her. . .
