About the Event
There is no Evil (15) | Dir. Mohammad Rasoulof | 2020 | Iran/Germany | IMDb 7.5 | 151 mins | Subtitles
In 2020, Rasoulof was sentenced to a year in prison for three of his movies. This anthology, with four dramas related to capital punishment, was one of them. The stories offer variations on the crucial themes of moral strength and the death penalty that ask to what extent individual freedom can be expressed under a despotic regime and its seemingly inescapable threats. Â Not an easy watch but worth it.
Winner of the Golden Bear at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival in 2020. It's the 3rd Iranian film to win the top award at the Berlinale, after A Separation (2011) and Taxi (2015).
