The Tenants (1987)
7/10
If it happens tomorrow, let's think about tomorrow
8 June 2020
The comedy that Mr. Mehrjoui made was one of the best comedies that I saw during this period, even though thirty-three years have passed since its production. Engineering, which is the symbol of the skilled person of the society and has built the house, has been abandoned over time and his advice has not been listened to. And many of the other different attitudes and behaviors that exist in society are clearly seen in this film. Not only thirty-three years ago, but this film also covers the society of today's Iran in 2020. Rather, it is our society that has come so far and become so accustomed to life. That they don't do anything until the work is ruined and they don't have to. In Iranian football, there is a very famous sentence among Iranians that says: until Iran scores a goal, its engine will not work. And the whole world has realized this before us. Of course, there are few people like Mr. Mehrjoui who have a big name in Iran, but it seems that although it has left good traces, it has apparently not had an effect on society in Iranian society. Hopefully, one day this other famous sentence, which represents our laziness as Iranians, will be removed from our culture, which says: If it happens tomorrow, let's think about tomorrow.
