Film Review and Analysis Blog

Saeed Hashemkhani’s blog is a space for film and series review and analysis, for discovering the hidden layers of a story and for studying the art of narrative in cinema; a place where watching a film becomes an opportunity to think, talk and find meaning.

Saeed worked as a reporter and film critic for the Cinema Video newspaper in Tehran, and on this blog he shares his personal, analytical view of films. From screenplay and characterisation to direction, acting, mise-en-scène, cinematography, rhythm and emotional impact, each film is examined from several angles, so that we go beyond a simple verdict of good or bad and reach a deeper experience of watching cinema.

Science fiction, psychological thrillers, mysteries and films with intelligent narrative and emotional depth hold a special place here; but what matters more than genre is the quality of the storytelling and the artistic coherence of the work.

This blog is an invitation to look more closely, think more and discover details that may escape you on a first viewing; for cinema lovers who want to know how a film tells its story, why it affects its audience and what makes it worth reflecting on and watching again.
