The screenwriter who became an actor and then gradually expanded this experience. An actor with a background in middle-class films, in the role of ordinary people in Tehran who ruin his life in the face of secrecy and violence and reconciliation between a couple. But the "walnut tree" is his first serious experience; Apart from all that, his encounter with an ordinary man is of descent, a man who must forget all that "ordinary urbanity" and become an "Avesta able to build" in a village near Sardasht. This is the biggest risk of the "walnut tree"; Trust in an actor who is a familiar face and is supposed to play the role of a simple Kurdish worker. The brilliance of performing Maadi is not in the correct tone and utterance of Kurdish words, whose skill in restraint, controlling the senses, is a performance rather than an explosion. A film with such a feeling, which mostly plays with the human soul, stimulates the actor to perform to the maximum. But Maadi, with the control of the Mahdists, has turned into a mini-mall, and the result is a torrent of pain that breaks every person's back. The conscious and intelligent choice of director-actor has helped to convey the feeling to the audience not through expression but through control and avoidance of expression, and therefore, this is probably the best Maadi play of all these years.
When you watch "Walnut Tree", think about yesterday, think about what we left behind, think about today and see how hard we all lived and what hope we had for life. We have come here from the heart of the apocalypse.
