Review of No One Knows About Persian Cats (2009) by Mohamed F — 13 Feb 2010
Before I say anything, I have to be clear, this movie has no cinematic beauty whatsoever, and it's not a movie in any conventional way, but that doesn't stop it from being simply sublime on its own terms!
'No One Knows About Persian Cats' is something fresh, shot in HD video, and the filmmakers didn't do any tricks to hide it with a "film-look", with a style closer to reality TV than documentary mainly using ambient lights and a handheld camera work.
This is simply a plot driven movie and it really succeeds at it, I was hooked right until the end.
The movie follows the struggle of two young rock musicians in Iran, trying to form a band and get passports and visas to make concerts abroad, but while the camera follows them through that endeavor, it indirectly reveals a panoramic view of life in Iran today.
