When "comedy cinema" devours the children of "body cinema"/ Alas for the presence of Attaran in "Khanumvaldeh" before the arrival of "Sleep"

If based on the definitions provided for "body cinema", the film "sleep"; Mani Moghadam's first production starring Reza Attaran belongs to this type of cinema, a film that was first seen at the 44th Fajr Film Festival (1404) and aroused the admiration of the media and will be screened on October 29, 1405. "Comedy cinema" simultaneously, long-handedly and haphazardly deals with the "consummation" of Reza Attaran in "Khanumvaldeh" directed by Sa

The manipulation of "comedy cinema" to the faces that "body cinema" made their faces

If based on the definitions provided for "body cinema", the film "sleep"; We consider Mani Moghadam's first production starring Reza Attaran to belong to this type of cinema, a film that was first seen at the 44th Fajr Film Festival (1404) and aroused the admiration of the media and will be released to the public on October 29, 1405, "comedy cinema", simultaneously, long-handedly and haphazardly dealing with the "consummation" of Reza Attaran in "Khanumwaldeh" directed by Sohail Mawafaq based on It is a screenplay by Hamza Salehi.

Narges Kiani: "The term body cinema in Iran was mentioned by a critic whose name I don't remember... I think it was registered under the name of Fereydon Jirani!... We are not looking for Brucely's killer or Ferydon Jirani or Javad Toosi; Like other terms such as "comedy genre" or "drama", a film may be defined as both a comedy genre and a dramatic story, but the main cinema of any country is the body cinema. In my opinion, Hitchcock is one of the good filmmakers of body cinema in the world. Compared to Antonioni or Fellini, or French filmmakers like Melville, his films are part of body cinema. Although they have made a club out of body cinema and beat it on the filmmaker's head, body cinema only makes sense when your cinema has a sense of humor..." (A panel discussion with the presence of Sirus Elvand and Javad Toosi about Iran's body cinema - Etemad newspaper - No. 4414, Monday, July 24, 2018 - In this conversation, Sirus Elvand and Three Points are the initiators of the dialogue.)

With this account and based on the definition presented, it can be said that if the acclaimed court drama "Zandeshore" directed by Kazem Danesh based on a joint screenplay by him and Mohammad Davoudi and starring Amir Jafari, Hamed Behdad, Mohammad Valizadegan, Irfan Naseri and Hossein Pourkarimi in the roles of 5 condemned to death, belongs to "body cinema", it is "comedy cinema"; Amir Jafari in "Napoleon in the Apricot Garden" written and directed by Hamed Mohammadi-Rozbahani is in such a plot: Agha Bahman and Agha Hayi plan the biggest robbery of their lives in prison...

Also, if based on the same definition, "sleep"; The first production of Mani Moghadam, based on the joint screenplay of him and Pejman Timurtash, starring Reza Attaran, belongs to "Body Cinema", we are talking about a film that was first seen at the 44th Fajr Film Festival (1404), it aroused the admiration of the media, as reported in the news, it will go to public screening from October 29, 1405 and these days (October 6 to 15, 2026 - October 14 to 23, 1405). It will have its first international screening at the 30th Busan International Film Festival. The "comedy cinema", however, is long-handed and haphazardly involved in the "spending" of Reza Attaran in "Khanumwalde" directed by Sohail Moafaq, based on a script by Hamzeh Salehi, in such a plot: two bankrupt brothers (Reza Attaran and Abbas Jamshidifar), who are apparently social filmmakers, must take a few billions from their mother and give them to their creditors, but their famous, literate and religious mother dies. And they decide to dress up a boy (Reza Attaran) who looks like their mother in the awe and disguise of the same mother; A boy who, contrary to his outward resemblance to his mother and his job, which is a social film maker, has little literacy and politeness and has ridiculous behaviors....

When a comedy wins by a margin

Among the 28 films that are currently on the screen in cinemas across Iran (in order from the best selling to the least selling); "Khanumwaldeh", "Zandeshor", "Pool", "Antique", "Escort", "Tehran Kinart", "Safineh Najat" (animation), "Napoleon in the Apricot Garden", "Taxidermy", "Journey to Limonia", "Personal Dress", "Midnight", "Roof", "Substitute", "Dreamscape", "Fight with Crabs" (animation), "Gambler", "Criminals' Paradise", "Awake", "Line" Salvation", "Snow White" (animation), "Ando", "Hidden Moon", "Idol", "Sword and Sorrow" (animation), "Land of Angels", "Grape Seeds" and "Bambolk 2" (real-animation), six works; "Khanumwaldeh" directed by Sohail Mawafaq, "Antique" directed by Mohammad Hadi Naeji, "Napoleon in the Apricot Garden" directed by Hamed Mohammadi Rozbahani, "Taxidermy" directed by Mohammad Padaybar, "Journey to Lemonya" directed by Kamal Moghadam Hajdini and "Dreamer" directed by Reza Maghsoudi belong to "Comedy Cinema". In the meantime, "Khanumvalde" which was released from September 25, 1405 until the evening of Thursday, October 23, according to the information of "Sempha" (Iranian cinema sales and release management system), with the presence of one million, 683,212 audiences, sold 230,880,445,400 tomans during 32,592 screenings in 642 theaters. Meanwhile, the competitor of "Khanumvaldeh" in the sales table; "Zandeshore" directed by Kazem Danshi (released on July 24) with the presence of 1 million 388 thousand 878 viewers, has sold 192 billion 648 million 587 thousand 744 Tomans during 48 thousand 114 screenings in 700 theaters. The third best-selling film of Iranian cinema, "Astekher" directed by Soroush Sehat, based on a screenplay by Soroush Sehat and Iman Safaei (released on July 24) has sold 171 billion 145 million 82 thousand 247 Tomans in 47 thousand one screenings in 700 theaters with the presence of 1 million 262 thousand 789 viewers.

Despite its impressive sales, "Khanumwaldeh" is described by film critics and media people with terms such as "absurd and sexist comedy", and this raises the question of Reza Attaran's acceptance of appearing in such a work with such a script, which must have been read by him before going in front of the camera, in a situation where his choices cannot be considered to be due to factors such as being under economic pressure. Was there a reason? This is a question that is also raised regarding the presence of Amir Jafari, who plays the role of one of the 5 prisoners sentenced to death in "Zandeshore" in the comedy "Napoleon in the Apricot Garden". There can be no doubt that neither "Khanumwaldeh" nor "Napoleon in the Apricot Garden" will be named "lasting works" in the history of Iranian cinema, and on the other hand, there can be no doubt that Reza Attaran and Amir Jafari are aware of the low quality level of these works. With this account, it is not far from the mind if we conclude that "comedy cinema" is only made with the help of persuasive contracts with face actors; As a result of years of hard work, the "body cinema" closes, begins to evolve, and exposes the professional record of these figures to sometimes irreparable damage and sting.
