Wouvv...Sound of Tehran!!!...The movie really gets out of the medium's boundaries,cliché staff and establishes new standards!
from the eyes of many segments of iranian civilization..middle class-good conditions to undergrounds,poors,revolution guards,Haji,outsiders,fake passport vendors from Tehran!
Director Ghobadi uses kind of guerrilla documentary tactics to follow the story of Negar and Ashkan, 2 musicians trying to get their band mates and paperwork to london. Ghobadi uses the popular culture figures pretty good (dialogs in english,indie,rock star trip,metaphors) and adapts into where he wanna fit in his real plot!
The quality of the amateur sounds are amazing! The music played in the film is very powerful and the range is quite remarkable. bands playing jazz, pop, heavy metal, rap in both Farsi and English.Moreover, their sincerity is great :) really from the heart!
The story begins kind of establishing an indie band under Today'S iranian conditions and goin to London for a gig,also trying the debut in Tehran...
But things and cliché changes when the story gets detailed..Some real part of iran,emotions,conditions,life and whys??? get into screen.
They don't need concert halls. They play everywhere: from metro stations to cow sheds and for anyone who wants to listen. Music and lyrics for the young Iranians has become a desperate and which takes them into power, means of expression and communication with the world .
Art and music can thrive even under worst conditions.
In iran,people dont have the basic human rights..freedom to speech,,freedom to travel,freedom to select their style and freedom to music.
one underdog "(Cd guy Nader-cinema-music lover,kind of dealer ) tries to be the solution to other poors' problem without any benefit!"
This is Eastern civilization..without any expectations,benefits..helping somebody...
The end of the movie is also touchy,full of reality,kader....breathless...
Sometimes u gave whatever u have for some special aim,anything from ur inner.but things happen,it doesnt work and it comes out from ur fingers. you cant make anything,you just watch it how things evacuate,, it just goes and later, it just sucks one after another :S And believe me in this part of the world,i donno why, but things happen usually in this way...
One of the best 5 performance of the season for me.
Fun detail :
"Shot covertly in Tehran just 17 days, without permission from the authorities, "Cats" looks at the risk of censorship - including prison terms - faced by Iranian musicians and artists. Scouting was done using two or three motorbikes and the scenes had to be shot at high speed, so the police couldn't spot them."
All the actors are amateurs.
