Kids think differently
Painted nails? Why? Najmeh: The world has changed. Iman: The world has changed, but God has not. Nor his laws. Najmeh: We have to teach them. Iman: We always have..
Finally, the sacred fig stands on its own
Opening credits: "Ficus Religiosa is a tree with an unusual life cycle. Its seeds, contained in bird droppings, fall on other trees. Aerial roots spring up and grow down to the floor. Then, the branches wrap around the host tree and strangle it. The sacred fig is also the strangler fig. It nuzzles its host even as it strangles them to death. The criminal is not the one you expect.
Expecting adulation, Iman encounters rebellion instead
Iman is climbing the ladder in Iran’s judicial system. High minded, ambitious, and hard-working, he strives to earn the approval of his superiors and is promoted. Where he presumes love in his workplace, country, wife and daughters, he finds insurgency. If Iman looks inside himself, he might find a way to set things right. The Seed of the Sacred Fig won two prizes at the Cannes film festival and succeeds because of its authenticity, depth, capable actors, and riveting story. Director Mohammad Rasoulof spent time in prison for the crime of practicing his art of filmmaking. Rasoulof appeared via video at this Toronto International Film Festival screening to tell the story of one of his interrogators who felt shame at his actions and didn’t know in which direction to turn.
He claimed to be getting grief from his family
This interrogator is the model for the character of Iman. This raw and unsettling film features actual footage from the violent 2022 uprising in Iran over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was taken into custody for allegedly wearing her hijab improperly. The film reminds us to take a close look at our workplace, country, friends, family, and ourselves in order not to become a host for any strangler figs, no matter how sacred they claim to be.
