VIFF REVIEW: My Tehran for Sale

Since every synopsis that I could find of Granaz Moussavi’s My Tehran for Sale mentioned that it featured scenes of underground raves, I expected that this film would largely be about raves and partying in Iran. Knowing that movies about raves are notoriously horrible, I was curious to see if this was different in Iranian cinema. Surprisingly (just to me), this was not a movie about raves at all. There is one such party in the opening of the movie, but the rest of the film was actually much more like Atom Egoyan’s Ararat (perhaps just superficially), in that it edited tense scenes of an interrogation into a slow-moving story.

The most interesting plot-line in the story involved a young child taking cell-phone videos of the morally dramatic events occurring around her – everything about these sequences is top notch. Unfortunately this is just a small part of the movie. The rest of the film is full of extremely natural and believable performances that ultimately aren’t based on a strong enough plot to really carry the movie. Other than the mobile phone storyline, the main reason to watch My Tehran for Sale is that it presents an interesting window into what Iran feels like for at least one witness. With the shortcomings of the North American media, this might be an excellent reason to watch it.
