The Man Who Wasn't Here (2017)
A review about the film and comparing it with other short films of the year in Iran
This is even a more challenging film . A Collage film with a bizarre opening that could push anyone back at the first moments, considering the unsuccessful previous experiences like it. But Ata Mojabi has artistically turn in into an attractive and admirable event utilizing appreciated cinephilia . Mojabi in his movie, The Man Who Wasn't Here, actually go through all the restriction and obstacles which have been approved as unsolved problems for years in Iranian movies structure. The Man Who Wasn't Here is well informed of its strength and also impossibilities it has to be formed within its frame, this is why it aims an amazing creativity witch use metaphors instead of innovating concepts. it choose a unique form for itself; it doesn't make but borrow . This is why I would like to call this film as the most impossible experience of the year, and at the same time the most ambitious of then, and finally one of the most successful ones to my surprise . A film that does not fight the restriction but uses geographical metaphors and other worlds to create a super world for itself and finally become coherent and prove itself to be a perfect film successfully . This is why Mojabi could be one of the hopes of upcoming future, all this skill should have a purpose . Written by : Hadi Ali Panah
