TWO Iran 2015 91 min original version with German and English subtitles German premiere Script: Soheila Golestani, DoP: Peyman Shadmanfar, Editor: Hayedeh Safiari, Production: Iran Art House Film, Producer: Parviz Parastouei, Cast: Parviz Parastouei, Mahtab Nasirpour, Sogol Khaligh, Mehraneh Mahintorabi, Mohammad Rabbani, Mostafa Zand, Sara Gharachedaghi, Esmaeil Gorji TWO focusses on relationships in the contemporary urbanized Iranian society which similarly to Western values is losing its humane side. The film concentrates on a woman in her 40s who is hired to help Bahman who has returned home from abroad. Bahman wants to sell his father’s house with everything in it. The talkative woman wants to help the man in his busy life, but Bahman mostly just bluntly turns her down. "I wrote the screenplay three years ago after reading the well known short story 'The Maid’s Shoes' by the Jewish-American author Bernard Malamud. My version is not a precise adaptation |
but I was inspired to create a movie about people like them. They are simple people that we see everyday – the people we walk by and don’t give any notice of.“ (Soheila Golestani)
