Iranian director Jafa Panahi's cinematic perspective focuses on the small people and marginalized people in Iranian society. Her debut novel, White Balloon, sets her sights on the little girl Nashya, whose wish is simple, to buy a goldfish, but the poor family cannot even meet her small request. The film won the Golden Camera Award at the 48th Cannes Film Festival.
Jafa Panahi also created another work from the perspective of a little girl, "Who Can Take Me Home", which is also full of laughter and tears of little people.
Crimson Gold, filmed in 2003. In an Iranian city, the protagonist, Hussein, a pizza courier, makes a living by delivering goods every day. He had served in the army, and the Iran-Iraq war had caused him deep trauma both physically and mentally. He had a good friend who was a thief. Hussein falls in love with the thief's sister and prepares to get married. Everything that happened while buying jewelry changed Hussein's fate.
Jafa Panahi has served as Abbas's assistant director. In "Crimson Gold", the screenwriter is exactly Abbas. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for Jaffay Panahi. In December 2010, Iranian officials announced that JafaPanassi had been sentenced to six years in prison, barred from making films, and barred from leaving the country, and banned for two decades.
In 2015, Jafar Panahi quietly "drove" a Taxi to Berlin and won the Golden Bear.
At the Golden Bear Awards, Jafa Panahi was unable to attend, and it was his niece who received the award on his behalf. The girl held aloft the Golden Bear trophy and covered her face and wept.
In 2018, "Three Faces" appeared in Cannes and won the Palme d'Or. The story begins with an actress receiving a disturbing video that reveals a disturbing reality.
Iran's outstanding filmmakers love to do "small" articles, which is where their "big" lies.
After reading "Change of Gun"
When Li Kui really encountered a fake Li ghost, when the yin and yang were tricked by fate, when the twin brothers met unexpectedly, when the truth was peeled off layer by layer like a bamboo shoot, when the extremely vicious criminal suspect was finally sentenced by the law, it was inevitable to happen by chance, and after the "change of gun", the truth came out! The novel narrative of the double clue does not let go of any clues, even if it is a trivial trifle, even a birthmark, a photo, a story of a small white rabbit, all have alluded to and referred to, the story suspense is cleverly set, the plot is fascinating, and the manual praise for the author's hard work.
