ONCE UPON A TİME

ONCE UPON A TİME

Once Upon a Time, Cinema, 1992
Director: Muhsin Mahmelbaf, 90’, Persian, black and white
Shining light on cinema’s trial of dreams and reality, is a surprising and fantastic experiment from Mahmelbaf, the naughty boy of Persian cinema. This wild film travels through Persian film history with Iran’s first filmmaker dressed as Chaplin’s "The Little Tramp" and a Shah who falls in love with a woman, shown him in a film by the filmmaker.
