Trust cinema Rana Azadivar, a member of the film selection board of the 43rd Fajr Film Festival, wrote in a note about “Old Boy” directed by Oktay Brahni:
“A film that brought three hours of cinema’s glory with its wonderful production and direction, revived the meaning and hope of cinema for me.
Filming, scene, brilliant games
And Mr. Pourshirazi is unique
unique
Every moment of his presence is creation, wonder and genius.
A movie that I still review every moment, even though it has been more than ten days since I watched it.
A movie that reminded me why I love cinema.
Dear Mr. Brahni, I am standing up and clapping my hands in respect of you for making Old Boy, which is cinema.”
“Old Man” was excluded from the competition section of the Fajr Film Festival.
