Dream about Sohrab

About This Movie

Dream about Sohrab feels like a contemplative journey rather than a conventional narrative. The atmosphere is steeped in the rich textures of Persian culture, and the pacing is intentionally languid, allowing moments of reflection to resonate. Ali Qavitan's exploration of Sohrab Sepehri’s thoughts and emotions unfolds in Kashan, a place heavy with nostalgia. The film's practical effects subtly enhance the dreamlike quality without overshadowing the performances, which are both understated and poignant. You get a sense of intimacy as it dives into themes of identity and art, almost blurring the lines between the director's reality and Sohrab’s poetic world. It’s distinctive, not just for its subject matter but how it immerses you in these layered experiences.
