کسی از گربه های ایرونی خبر نداره
An Award Winner Film by: Bahman Ghobadi
(in Farsi with Eng. subtitles)
 بهمن قبادی - فیلمی در باره موسیقی زیرزمینی در ایران و گروهای ایندی راک
این فیلم در ایران اجازه پخش نگرفت
Recently released from prison, two young musicians - a man and a woman - decide
to form a band. Together they travel the underworld of contemporary Tehran
searching for other players. Forbidden by the authorities to play in Iran, they plan
to escape from their clandestine existence, and dream of performing in Europe.
But with no money and no passports, it won’t be easy...!


Fueled by frustration with the myriad prohibitions governing life in Iran, "No One Knows About Persian Cats" strings an improvised tale around Tehran's underground indie-rock scene. Good-looking, shot-on-the-fly fifth feature by Bahman Ghobadi ("Half Moon," "Turtles Can Fly," "A Time for Drunken Horses"), which blends exciting musical performances with an undernourished narrative, is unlikely to be screened legally in the Islamic Republic but should enjoy a healthy fest life offshore, with niche arthouse in some territories.
