feature film of Hossein Shahabi. For the first time in the 21st international
festivals Vesoul France is on the screen.
FIPRESCI/Cinema critic Lalit Rao writes about The first film Hossein Shahabi:
Iranian director Hossein Shahabi chose to highlight the importance of the
criminal justice system in his homeland Iran. His debut feature The Bright Day
(Rooz-e Roshan) depicts the relentless efforts of a brave woman to ensure that
truth should prevail at all costs.
What makes his film remarkable is the incessant travels carried out in the
car by its protagonist Roshan who wouldn't stop at anything in order to save her
lover from death penalty. She is constantly on the move in her car in order to
convince witnesses to speak the truth which would result in a person escaping
the death penalty.
This film constantly reminds viewers a lot about
films made by Abbas Kiarostami especially 'Close-Up' and 'Like Someone in Love'
whose leading players were always on the move to achieve their personal goals.
Iranian actress Pantea Bahram is quite convincing in her role as the lone
crusader of justice. It was for this film that Hossein Shahabi won silver crow
pheasant award for best débutant director during 19th International Film
Festival of Kerala 2014.
