Really can't stand this film or the filmmaker The emperor has no clothes


This movie is another example of a movie getting praise because of the desire to show good will toward anything even remotely watchable and kitsch from an area such as the near or far east.
The director is NOT IRANIAN by the way. She is straight up a privileged, European educated, hipster.
She has nothing to say. I've seen this before, just taking parts from "cool" films that one likes and throwing them in
to a movie. And why does some of these filmmakers who try too hard to be interesting always bring up David Lynch.
I hate to say it, but more than a many female "indie" filmmakers do this.
The word 'indie' is officially just a silly, trendy word now.
There's independent and then there's 'indie' hipster movies that aren't vital or substantive at all.
The idea of a vampire film created in Iran with an Iranian, female director and in black and white just really triggered a lot of good will, like me.
The emperor has no clothes. This movie is not a sum of its parts nor has anything to say so, all of the true cineastes out there who tell others to go watch Twilight on blurary - man, you are following a naked emperor with no clothes.

So you didn't get it. Big deal. Plenty of movies that are tailored to the slimmer crowd.
