this film is the first time Saeed Roostaee made his long movie, considering that,this could be a pleasing accident to the Iranian's cinema. making fast, quick but effective rhythms which fits exactly right in the action of switching between dark and hopeful themes of the camera , with nice Decoupaged Miseenscenes turned this dark drama even more comfortable and attractive to watch. considerable act of Parinaz Izadyar as the character of Somayeh, transfers the true concept of her role on the scenario as the second mother of the family, the origin of kindness which brings hope to a poor family and balances the tragic power of film by proposing a solution to the major disappointing scenes , armed with every kind of art to brings his theory to the every edge of director's frame. so if you have some time and you're ready to feel some impressing drama , here you are.

It doesn't matter how much you enjoy Iranian films: with life& 1 day, you're better off saving your money, your ears, and time. Numerous shouting dialogues don't make a movie. The director did not develop the central theme, instead, he obsessively throws in dramas: injured cats, mother's constipation, backed-up toilet, teenage rebellion, women's issues, dependency, drug addition, police brutality, poverty, and 10's more topics. The only think he did not include was the kitchen sink, partly because it did not cross his mind !

"Life and a day" is a recurring story heard that repeatedly by other filmmaker's sense making a feature film. The story of a low level family, which is located with the arrival of a suitor and the surrounding issues that this does happen, the spectator's Guide to the dark world of this family and their lives against the audience's eyes. But the major difference is "forever and a day" with other works that have been made, however, and the atmosphere that this is a good story and characters to Director that story it is known to occur. Saeed — rural which rarely can be found in a search, the 26 year old Director of character-filled number good story and true to the extent that fostered an audience with comfort and pain and discomfort of their Become a mental pain can be in the audience when watching movie.The script of "forever and a day" can be easily among the best screenplay of recent years in Iranian cinema. The shooting script and the script to the character, much pay and standard size. Fortunately the Director well understand that this narrative is the story of guys no white and black city down them. These people have a common pain, but never to reach their goals is a scary Monster. Other controversial features acclaimed movies can be found in the character of the child searched for personality; that unlike the dark space and dark story, quite a gifted filmmaker and with it gives this message to the community that the clever people belonging To handle a specific class or do not have the best community of personification of the movie belongs to Mohsen (played by Navid Mohammad Zadeh).The young man junkie that, although intense addiction to a drug dealer, and a history of capitalism, but his love to remind family members of the haunted and among the fights with his brother, Morteza (Treaty of Maadi) Always remind him that should not marry such a situation with somayeh. Sexy brother and sister m. and somayeh especially in the final third of the film is a brilliant sequence Mohsen are conjure somayeh, spectacular and influential and is directed by a well detailed also said rural from this position Becker, has created a lasting moment.One of the best features of "forever and a day" can be used to depict the problem of addiction. A problem that in recent years over and over again in the cinema of the talk but never has so much for tangible and understandable lack of audience e. Young film director instead of portraying a stereotypical situations of the individual, the person addicted introduces the problem that causes the addiction away from her family gathering. In one of the influential film scene, family members are dancing and stomp, but Mohsen in the yard alone has been a better sample of Stomp, somayeh are taking pictures when the collective, m. to Rather than being on the side of the family, at the top of the stairs meets up apart from the others. The village is well managed with complete dominance, the most influential image of addiction in Iranian cinema in the last few year's draws. But "forever and a day" despite the significant cohesion that's in the script, there was also that with a bit of accuracy and reload it. Including these errors bring up snippets of stories that is easily abandon is not specified correctly, and that the reason they put forward what was e. Including this retail stories, the story of the image struck sister scarring that is minutes from the movie m to itself, but its relation to the core of the film is not specified or strange behaviors that sister somayah cats Brought up to the damaged house for maintenance of their revenues, this character has always been angry, but her life is less to the filmmaker goes to understand her pain for this size of anger."Life and a day" in the acting Department is without doubt one of the best of Iranian cinema in recent years goes to the cast of the film, the best play to date for themselves has to offer. The Treaty of Maadi which is specifically the best movie actor, in the role of m to the complete lack of sophistication he donation Phoenix and remains one of the ambiguities of the thirty-fourth Fajr Film Festival goes to.

"Forever and a day" in the years ahead could be easily on a worthy representative of Iranian cinema in the Oscars 2017.

Life + 1 Day is the directorial debut for young screenwriter and director Saeed Roostaei, whose film is well-written and well-crafted with stellar performances from most of the cast. The plot (if you could call it that) is about the youngest girl in a poverty-stricken family in Tehran who's contemplating whether she should leave her family to marry a rich Afghan or to stay with them and continue her mostly-futile attempts to mend her broken family. Her older brother, Morteza, who's a recovering addict urges her to leave, while her younger brother, Mohsen, who's still a user, implores her to stay and not give up on her family.In my opinion, the film certainly has its moments. In one scene, the two brothers argue over whether Morteza has received money from the Afghan suitor and is supporting the marriage for his own financial gain. The chemistry between Moaadi and Mohammadzadeh is unbelievable, and the dialog fuels the drama in a powerful way.My problem with Life + 1 Day is two-fold: first, it's structure: the film has divided its attention among all characters, and in doing so, it has spread itself too thin. We see a family of 8 and we are given a glimpse into the life and problems of each and every one. At the end of the day, the film is about all of the characters. I think to do justice to all of them, the film would have needed much more runtime.My second issue is with the rampant melodrama during the whole film. It's like listening to an opera with the soprano screaming her lungs out the entire piece. I'm not saying the scenarios are contrived or the sequences are not believable. My point is that for the drama to really kick in, you need to have the "downs" as well as the "ups". The characters of this story are constantly screaming, quibbling or shedding tears! There is a sequence, where the family celebrates their youngest brother's remarkable grades or a sequence where they take a family picture together. Sequences like these would've better established the "normal" pace of daily life and then, as a result, the more dramatic sequences would have hit the audiences (especially international ones who may be less familiar with the culture of Iranian families) even harder.Overall, I'm personally happy with the direction Iran's school of Realism in cinema has taken in recent years and look forward to Roostaei's future films. Afterall, he's only 26. I can't imagine what movies he'll be making by the time he's 40!
