ifilm tragicomedy pick ‘Twenty’ in review

ifilm weekend flick ‘Twenty’ is a tragicomedy from Iran cinema with a realistic look at social issues, a review says.

The piece gave a rave review of Abdolreza Kahani’s film, praising all-star cast, including Mahtab Keramati who gained Best Actress in a Supporting Role award at Fajr Film Festival for her role in the flick.

‘Twenty’ has also been acclaimed at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic.

While most of the movie sequences take place at a reception hall on the verge of going out of business, character-filled movie made things look fabulous for the audience to follow through.

The reception hall can be a busy place where the story unfolds as in Iran sorrow and happiness are commemorated in such setting, the review notes.

Many reception halls in the country host attendees to the memorial as well as wedding ceremony either on different days or the same day at separate venues.
