A look back at poetic love in ‘Zero Degree Turn’: ifilm exclusive:

In an exclusive talk with ifilm, ‘Zero Degree Turn’ director says he resorts to poetry for expressing love.

Hassan Fathi describes a scene where the star of his historical drama Habib Parsa (brought to life by Shahab Hosseini) needs to tell his beloved how he loves her. Habib has only some few minutes to express feelings so he uses the briefness yet fullness of poetry and reads two verses of Hafez to her.

Fathi, who has also written the screenplay for the series, says that the main theme of ‘Zero Degree Turn’ is love.
