Review of No One Knows About Persian Cats (2009) by Kevork O — 03 Dec 2011
The plot of this underground movie, filmed in secret and on location in Tehran, is deceivingly simple: two young musicians try to form a band and organise a concert in London, while circumventing the restrictions of the Islamic Republic.
On the way to its shockingly abrupt, tragic denouement we get a colourful taste of a different Iran, one where youngsters play and enjoy indie rock, heavy metal, rap, blues, and traditional music, right under the noses of a corrupt theocratic regime, sometimes at considerable personal cost.
