Cinema Jahangir Kowsari, director of the film “Blue Veils” in an interview with Fereydoon Jiran, in response to criticism of Forough Farrokhzad’s role by his daughter Baran Kowsari, insisted that he did not insist on doubts between him.
Jahangir Kowsari said at the beginning of the program: We intended to start filming that we met with Corona, so we went back to it, but later we went to. We got the construction license late in the clerical government. But we took the license of the play, but from Mr. Raisi’s government. I also have to say that they gave us some corrections at that time, but I said I was not willing to remove some plans and said it was okay.
Asked why the film did not give the film to last year’s festival, he said: Because the same process of negotiations to eliminate and remain some plans continued, given that our film hero was rain, we told us not to picture and poster. Be released from him. Next, I gave the film to the Toronto Festival. But there we published a poster that we shouldn’t do. Mr. Ruhollah Sohrabi was a great human being, and I thought cinema and our position. I have nothing to do with what ideology has, but it was right to suggest that different governments use him. As I said, Mr. Il Beigi doesn’t hurt.
He said: I didn’t. This year, too, I said, if I had a special performance, I will give the film, but I don’t want to be in the competition and judge because we have a special character in the film. The festival’s secretary also helped. Even a single plan was not lost in the show, and if the film is short, it is me.
Kowsari said about how he chose the subject of Forough for directing, saying: “I did a little in the field of directing, and given that my wife is a director, I somehow spoiled myself. Of course, I read this field since I wanted to read a documentary about Forough because I had a sister who was very fond of Forough, so I was familiar with Forough, but because I was interested in football, I went to football. Perhaps this film is my last film in the field of directing. I did a lot of research on Forough and read, I went to Nasser Khodiar, I found Forough’s sister’s son, and I got some documentation.
The director said that Ibrahim Golestan was one of the most important characters in life, saying: “I love Golestan very much and I think I was literate, and I also have films. Saw him and I have read his books. If I brought Golestan in the film, Forough’s character would have been overshadowed and I could no longer portray Forough. Of course You could talk about a lot about, but I preferred one or two plans in the film
Kowsari explained: “The time I made the film was alive and not allowed to pay him in” The Blue Veils “I talked to him several times, but he was not allowed to say anything about him in the film.
Kowsari said about the presence of two Foroughs in the film: This saved my script. The simultaneous presence of these two characters helped us.
“This was the highest quality documentary made and all the faces are present,” he said.
Kowsari said about Clari’s filming: “Mahmoud did a great job at this age.” It was very difficult. He even helped me in directing.
The director said: “The Brotherhood is not my beloved poet, but I plan to make another poet’s life and I plan to get another license.”
Kowsari said: With the space that prevails in our cinema, no one may see this movie because most comedy films have more sales.
“We didn’t even think of the rain when we wanted to get started,” he said of the Kowsari Rain game. After the script was completed and we wrote the final dialogues, we went to acting classes and universities, but no one could play one night. I said Rain I wanted an actor to say you want to make Forough’s film and not play? He made this joke and laughing, but in the end it became a reality. I believe in the rain of rain he all adds to every movie. He was really fighting for the movie.
Kowsari said: “Our film had not been released yet that many were criticizing that the rain would not eat, while I didn’t want to eat it myself, I wanted to play Forough.” This is the art of cinema, the charm of cinema in playing. I was not looking for the rain like Forough himself trying to get close to Forough.
