\u00bbIt was very important for me to make a film without any compromises. A film pure \u2018to its core\u2019 in all of its aspects. In the narrative form, the visual approach and the editing as well \u2013 all resting on a number of choices. The first of which was to limit the film to Ali\u2019s flat, and to keep close to his point of view. To see the world through his eyes (…). The second key choice was deciding not to give in to any censorship \u2013 unlike most Iranian films \u2013 and to film the scenes in what I felt was the right way, in order to follow the characters\u2019 feelings and develop their relationship explicitly. This, along with the political themes in the film, meant selecting Iranian exiles for our Iranian crew and actors. It also meant not being able to shoot the film in Iran, for obvious security reasons.\u00ab
\n\u2013 Sepideh Farsi<\/p>\n
Teheran in June 2009. Whilst the green revolution rages on the streets, Ali, a politically resigned fifty-something, is preparing to emigrate. But then he offers Sara, a young activist, shelter from the police. Engaging in highly intense discussions, the unequal couple begin to approach one another.<\/p>\n
Red Rose<\/strong> is an intimate play about political attitudes, gender and generation conflict, not to mention the future of Iran, which combines a cin\u00e9ma v\u00e9rit\u00e9 style and mobile-phone footage of the protests with the plot. Sepideh Farsi made the film in Greece.<\/p>\n German premiere<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18695,"template":"","movie_year":[47],"movie_genre":[80],"movie_cat":[405],"festival":[596],"class_list":["post-12695","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-47","movie_genre-feature-film-en","movie_cat-international-feature-film-competition-for-women-directors-en-2015-2015-en","festival-2015-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
