Renowned Iranian director Bahman Ghobadi (A Time For Drunken Horses, Marooned In lraq) returns with "an exhilarating examination of a Ieading lranian criminal enterprise-music" (The WalI Street JournaI).
Co-written by imprisoned lranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi, the fiIm is an indictment of artistic repression in Iran's exciting underground music scene and a funny and moving ceIebration of an entire generation of lranians striving towards personal and creative freedom.
Shot in secret and featuring extraordinary performances by real underground bands, No One Knows About Persian Cats foIIows a pair of young musicians, recently released from prison, on a mission to take their rock band to Europe. Forbidden by the authorities to play in lran, they plan their escape abroad with a fast-talking music promoter. Vowing to pIay one last show before leaving Tehran, their dangerous mission takes them on a free-wheeIing journey through the City's vibrant and diverse underground scene, home to an estimated 2,000 iIIegaI independent bands. |
