Divine Comedy
Ali Asgari – Iran – 2025
CHF 23.90 incl. VAT / EUR 22.50 excl. VAT
Bahram is a 40-year-old filmmaker who has spent his entire career making films in Turkish-Azeri, none of which have ever been screened in Iran. His latest work, once again denied permission by the Ministry of Culture, pushes him to the edge of defiance. With his sharp-tongued, Vespa-riding producer Sadaf by his side, he embarks on an underground mission to showcase his film to an Iranian audience — dodging government censors, absurd bureaucracy and his own self-doubts.
«What begins as a simple act of defiance becomes a darkly funny journey through red tape, cultural gatekeeping, and the range of anxieties facing any artist determined to create freely.» Variety
«A sharp, funny, and crowd-pleasing work.» Next Best Picture
«Divine Comedy has a scrappy, off-the-cuff energy and an impish, defiant spirit.» Screen Daily
