Opis

âWhatâs most remarkable about this volume is its transparency. Throughout, in new, rewritten and republished pieces, you can see Godfreyâs questing and questioning mind latching onto a subject for which he has a deep affinity, learning as much as he can about itâby pondering the works themselves, talking to their creators, and absorbing the culture that birthed the sceneâand then figuring out a way to transmit his enthusiasm to the widest American audience possible.ââMatt Zoller Seitz âI admire Godfrey for his strong support of Iranian cinema and his efforts to introduce Iranian films to American audiences. Although movies are shown by distributors and exhibitors, itâs really the critics who bring the audience. Godfreyâs reviews also help us in Iran by providing critical support against those who attempt to suppress us and keep us from working.ââJafar Panahi, filmmaker
