TWO Iranian films were up for Oscars on Sunday and one of them got the award. I wrote about it https://www.thenationalnews.com/opinion/comment/2025/03/05/iran-has-a-mainstream-cinema-and-an-underground-one-only-one-was-seen-at-the-oscars/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1741178204

Appreciate this, Arash. My Iranian-born wife and I high-fived in the living room while watching In The Shadow of the Cypress win its Oscars category :) It was just a little difficult to watch Molayemi seemingly criticizing Sohani's speaking only to repeat the same words they'd prepared—and which she'd capably recited—and to deliver those words no better than she already had 🤦♂️ ... Dude should have just let her cook.
