CANNES, France– There were joys and praise outside the royal residence for Iranian supervisor Mohammad Rasoulof.
An forthright doubter of the Iranian regimen, Rasoulof went to the Cannes Film Festival to debut “The Seeds of the Sacred Fig,” a thriller concerning a civil servant’s household in Tehran that comes down right into a distressing internet of mistrust and fear showing the situations produced by the nation’s overbearing tyranny. It’s a movie Rasoulof needed to finish in trick while on the pursue Iran’s Revolutionary Court punished him to 8 years behind bars, flogging and confiscation of his building for “safety and security” offenses. The sentence was initially for “authorizing declarations and making movies and docudramas,” Rasoulof’s legal representative created.
