Book synopsis

The rise of Iranian cinema to world prominence over the last few decades is one of the most fascinating cultural stories of our time. Masters & Masterpieces of Iranian Cinema celebrates this remarkable emergence. It focuses on twelve of the most important Iranian filmmakers of the past half-century. In his examination of their lives and their greatest works, Hamid Dabashi explains how, despite the censorship of both the Pahlavi monarchy and the Islamic Republic, the creativity of these filmmakers has transcended national and cultural borders. His account traces the ascendancy of Iranian cinema in modern Iranian intellectual history and also probes its links to Persian poetry, fiction, art, and philosophy. This is a book that will reward not only the scholar and the film aficionado but also anyone interested in the cultural history of modern Iran.
