Around the world, especially in the international festival circuit, Farhadi is considered one of the great dramatist filmmakers of his generation. His reputation and influence in his home country is even greater, though also prone to misunderstandings, controversies, and divided critical reception. This volume offers a unique perspective into Farhadi's career in several key respects. Beginning with his work in television, the interviews collected here chart his rise from theater student to Iranian dramatist to celebrated international filmmaker. The majority of the interviews were conducted in Persian and have been translated into English for the first time. In the course of his career, Farhadi has become the new hope for Iran. On both nights of his Oscar wins, Iranians flooded the streets with joy in a rare (and illegal) celebration. Yet, like other contemporary Iranian filmmakers who have struggled to reconcile their national identity with their global repute as international filmmakers, Farhadi is at once feted and under fire by his own government. In addition to making recent films outside Iran, he has taken advantage of his celebrity status to make controversial statements on topics ranging from Donald Trump to poverty and capital punishment in Iran. He even asked Iran's Judiciary to pardon Jafar Panahi, prompting the government to temporarily withdraw permission to shoot his renowned 2011 film A Separation. Asghar Farhadi: Interviews addresses the important dimensions that characterize contemporary Iranian filmmaking and shed light on what Farhadi sees as his role and responsibilities as an Iranian filmmaker in a global age"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $t A country without heroes / $t Chronology -- $t Filmography -- $t A reaction to current conditoins / $r Ehsan Khoshbakht -- Index. $t City of no angels / $r Alireza Motamedi -- $t A discussion with Asghar Farhadi, Director of "Dancing in the dust": Snakes on a plain! / $r Omid Najvan -- $t Whiich part of the city is beuatiful? / $r Shadmehr Rastin -- $t An interview with Asghar Farhadi and Mani Haghighi: A special day / $r Houshang Golmakani and Abbas Yari -- $t The autopsy of Elly / $r Saeed Ghotbizadeh -- $t Bitter truth, Sweet expediency, and denied redemption / $r Massoud Mehrabi -- $t The butterfly effect: Asghar Farhadi and Ali Mosaffa in conversation about "The Past" / $r Hossein Moazezinia -- $t An Interview with Asghar Farhadi about "The Salesman": This hdden hell / $r Massoud Mehrabi -- $t No one knows what the past holds / $r Amir Pouria -- $t A country without heroes / $r Ehsan Khoshbakht -- Index. 600 10 $a FarhaÌdiÌ, AsÌ£ghar, $d 1972- $v Interviews. 600 17 $a FarhaÌdiÌ, AsÌ£ghar, $d 1972- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01942359 650 0 $a Motion picture producers and directors $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Motion picture producers and directors $z Iran $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Screenwriters $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Screenwriters $z Iran $v Interviews. 650 7 $a Motion picture producers and directors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027225 650 7 $a Screenwriters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01109351 651 7 $a Iran. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204889 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423832 776 08 $i Online version: $t Asghar farhadi $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2023 $z 9781496841070 $w (DLC) 2022031546 700 1 $a Khoshbakht, Ehsan, $d 1982- $e editor. 700 1 $a Todd, Drew, $d 1970- $e editor. 830 0 $a Conversations with filmmakers series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014930.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0992D7D6C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
