Hitler's Grave

shokof means simply to be different.his work could be anything from great to (i would never say bad cause it takes lots of guts to do a small portion of what he has done on his own and in the name of arts)less great but is always a complete step and far away from this world. in Hitler's Grave shokof tries to show how unimportant religions are and how terribly we take all religions as the core principles of living on earth. there is a sentence where the girl and the boy are finally in agreement with doing what they want to do and then the boy asks her : do you think it works? here is the answer which in my opinion is the greatest line in movies in many many years: the fish will not fly and the birds will not swim.nothing will happen. wow, and then they continue on, and truly after the viewer exits the film , one can come to ask oneself the same question, and the answer is simply what the wonderful Taies Farzan gives in the film.just start living free, civilized, artful, and respect one another and no religion can be better than any of that. the film is just extraordinary. the cast are really all great.the story is above the imagination. the directing is on the dot.the music is great and matches wonderfully with the scenes.the editing works, and above all it is a revolution in form of a film much alike Shokof,s famous Seven Servants but much much more tangible.smell of love, success and delight is written all over this marvelous movie. you get a chance to see it , do not lose the chance.its a solid 10

best script in many years for the film Hitler,s Grave best directing best lead actress for taies farzan best film and i loved the music this film has my vote for sleeper of the year 2012 Academy Awards would do courageousness, humanity, boldness, fantasies, optimism, perspectives for future generations of people on earth and much more positivity all the good to take serious notice of this so beautifully orchestrated simple Small movie with the heart of the lions. an absolute delightful polite-drama without big name actors but excellent works by all lead actors in the film daryush shokof,s best movie so far a classic is born 10 from me for all it offered to me until the very last second i was glued to my seat for greatest ending of the film in many years of cinema.

i just saw this great and brave film in LA.it is really a simple movie with a heart of gold, and done masterfully by Shokof whose Asudem and Seven Servants brought my attention to the works of this very interesting artist.it seems that he makes movies with really tight budgets but the concepts never let you feel the essence of the filmmaking qualities to give away as he quiet powerfully blends all the necessary elements together in order to deliver the film as an original work no matter what the film is all about anyway.Hitler's Grave has all those ingredients to make it a winner as the sleeper of the year. i never heard of the movie until it was brought to my attention through a simple mail . i saw it and the powerful story, start scenes and follow up drama grabbed my feelings and pinned me down to the seat till very last second.some actors are openly not up to the situations but others such as the lead actress; and or Vadim Glowna, and almost all the other major positions are right on the dot.most specifically is the concept of the film and the script that in my opinion stand out to be a righteous contender for the Oscars this year.the bravery of it both can place this very courageous film that is sincerely a world apart from all other Iranian films i have seen so far in all these years.it delivers a realistic, balanced and way too open of an ending that one is challenged to believe it is all possible to end of with such a concept in our world of conflicts these days and be a believer that it is also the right way to think. i loved this movie and have much more respect for this grand thinker every time i see a new work from him.see this film wherever you get a chance while it will stay with you for some time before you long for another Shokof film.

daryush shokof makes a commitment to break taboos every time he gets a chance making a movie.however, with Hitler,s grave he has done more than just making a movie.i rather say a most subtle film i have seen from him yet.it is a story that not only touches different layers of current world conflicts (Moslems and the Jews)but, directs us to a window of opportunity so smoothly that one can simply and easily agree there is nothing wrong with having no religion. this is actually what the film preaches above all the other statements about the world famous"infamous Iranian regime". he is very successful to tell the story with wit and passion, as Taies Farzan delivers her role equally at her best but so do almost all other wonderful actors in the film (except for some new comers and or relatively extra type of cast that do disturb very nice scenes on occasions,"the police officers at the synagogue are just simply not up to their roles). Vadim Glowna is great. Pierre Kiwitt does a good job and the complete story works like a half classic old movie that you do not want to miss. a solid 10 for this very refreshing new film by shokof

Hitler's Grave surprised me amongst all films in 2012 and touched me as one of the most original films i had ever seen. however, i read many places that Shokof is well known for being an original artist.now i really like to see films from him, and question myself how come i never saw any films by him till now?! is it because he is so original? weird?! strange that so many great filmmakers go unrecognized. anyway, this film should get much attention from all those who do not like racism, restricted religion codes and freedom above all.but that said , it is also the film that all Nazis would hate to ever come across to.racists are doomed to destruction when they have one word to say in the theater.yes, it is really a courageous film from any and many perspectives as well.i also read "since i really wanted to know about this artist, filmmaker" that he was even kidnapped for his works and belief. now, how in the world did he really make such a film?! and now that such a rarity has come to exist, how do the world of cinema goes about ignoring it? i read that it was rejected by all major film festivals until it finally landed the major awards at some festival in Los Angeles? the film is full of great lines.the actors or rather say, the lead actors are all great.the lead actress is overwhelming in her portray of the dazed and confused Iranian Moslem woman who now searches freedom and is up to deliver a promise that is more important to her than her own life. the ending of the picture alone is worth all the every pleasurable minute one sits through this great movie.a down out eye opener in all aspects as i would recommend this film to all and every human being who would really rather see a great film than just spend money and pop corn for films as business as usual watch it and vote for it for the best film of the year in many categories starting with the best original script to the best actress and directing and the film , not to forget the strange music score that adds to the wholesomeness of this very masterfully executed feature film.
