Film Information

Shot entirely in secret, Mohammad Rasoulof’s award-winning thriller, THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG, centers on a family thrust into the public eye when Iman is appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran. As political unrest erupts in the streets, Iman realizes that his job is even more dangerous than expected, making him increasingly paranoid and distrustful, even of his own wife Najmeh and daughters Sana and Rezvan.

Reviews

“A thriller of propulsive skill and blunt emotional force, marrying the muscularity of an action film to the psychological intensity of a chamber drama.”

Justin Chang
The New Yorker

“The emotional reality of living in Iran while holding views that oppose the state, the movie suggests, is anxiety-inducing—almost unfathomably so for those who have never dealt with such restrictions.”

Shirley Li
The Atlantic

“Rasoulof gets terrific performances from all of his cast, but particularly noteworthy is Sohelia Golestani’s work as Najmeh, which captures the woman’s subtle, gradual transition from defender of her husband to an ally of her daughters.”
