These movies, despite all artistic and technical factors, can provide you with a glimpse of Iranian people’s actual lives and norms. So, why not exploring Iran’s cinema a little bit?Īccording to the New York Times, “Iran has long been a flourishing garden of cinema, known for the blunt minimalism and piercing emotional directness of its filmmaking.” With world-class film-makers such as Abbas Kiarostami, Bahram Beyzai, Asghar Farhadi, Dariush Mehrjui and so many other well-known directors, a list of best Iranian movies can go on forever, but in this article, we will only focus on 5 movies.

Therefore, regarding a country like Iran- which is normally presented through false or unrealistic images- perhaps cinema would be a more accurate medium to learn about deeper levels of society, the moral values and other identity factors.

In that case watching movies is a fun, yet artistic approach to get to know a country, its people and their everyday life. There is no doubt that movies are great doorways into understanding a culture.
