Iranian Artists Forum reviews ‘Nomadland’

Oscar-winning movie ‘Nomadland’ has been screened at the Iranian Artists Forum in Tehran.

The film directed by Chloe Zhao, was reviewed by Iranian cinema critics during a screening session.

Chloe Zhao’s 'Nomadland' won both the Best Feature and the Audience Choice awards at the 30th Gotham in the US, promising a good future for Frances McDormand's starrer.

The docu-fictional hybrid enjoys impressive cinematography with great performances of its professional cast, but what makes this film so special is the way it looks at how we should get out of life like a nomad. The film stars Frances McDormand as an American nomad.

The film narrates the story of a woman who, after losing everything in the Great Depression, embarks on a journey to the American West and starts a new life for herself as a modern-day nomad in a van.

The admirable part of the movie is to show a romantic portrayal of life on the road without ignoring the possible potholes along the way.

‘Nomadland’ won six awards at the 2021 edition of the Academy Awards.
