About the author

Kimiai started his career as an assistant director and made his debut, Come Stranger, in 1968. With his second film, Qeysar (1969), he and Dariush Mehrjui with The film Cow, caused a historical change in Iranian film industry. But Dariush Mehrjui's film with more artistic values has sustained its level of greatness through history of Iranian cinema . Kaisar became a great success at the box office and opened the way for many young, talented filmmakers who never had a chance in the industry before. He also received many good reviews by manipulating the film critics. His films deal with people in the margin of the society with his anti-hero characters that die at the end. Many directors of commercial films imitated his Kaiser/ Qeysar for about 6 years, but in the last decade he focuses on young antagonists. He usually writes his screenplays, using slang dialogs based on ordinary traditional people’s dialect but majority of Iranians find those dialogues unrealistic and weird . In 1991 he was awarded a prize in 41st Berlin International Film Festival for his Snake Fang (Dandan-e-mar). This was not his sole international prize. At the Cairo International Film festival in 1979 he got from the International Catholic Organisation for Cinema (OCIC), the OCIC Prize for his film The Journey of the Stone (Safar Sang). The international OCIC jury gave its award to this film because The Journey of the Stone denounced the exploitation of mankind by mankind and called for a more just social order.

Reviews

[Saman]

ته حرفامون این شد که (ثریا) سر راست نیست. عشق و عاشقی نمی‌فهمه. همش می‌گرده عقب بهترش، نه یه چیز بخصوص... نه اصلاً می‌گرد عقب بهترش
صفحه‌ی 21

- تو یه روز به اندازه‌ی یک عمر کلک خوردی
کاوه گفت: از کی؟
- از خود کلک. آدم کلکو از آدم نمی‌خوره. از خودِ کلک می‌خوره. کلک جوری باهاس خرج بشه، مصرف بشه، تو شهر، تو محله، خونه. کیل داره. اگر مصرف نشه می‌مونه برا روز بعد
صفحه‌ی 23

ترس واقعی در تعریف نمی‌آید. در ترس نمی‌توان خردمند بود. ترس همواره در دورِ فاسد خودش وجود دارد. ترس هجوی است از یک واقعیّت بی‌شکل، بی‌حجم. ضرب و صدایش را خودمان می‌سازیم، شکلش را ناشیانه ترسیم می‌کنیم که ترسناک‌تر می‌شود. نمی‌دانیم در وجودمان می‌آید یا در چشم‌های بسته‌ی پر از نگاهمان
صفحه‌ی 60

تو قمار کلک بزنی، گناه نکردی
صفحه‌ی 85

آدمی که لک نداره، دو سه جاش فساد نداشته باشه، آدم حالا نیس، آدم بهاره، آدم زمستون نیس. ماهام عقب جنس همیم، زن و مردی که همدیگرو دوس دارن باهاس از جنس هم باشن؛ والاّ نمی‌چسبه، جوش نمی‌خوره، کیف نمی‌ده
صفحه‌ی 100

- خیلی بدم می‌‌آد اشکم رو که دلیل داره، با دستمال کاغذی پاک کنم. هر چیزی یه حرمتی داره، دستمال کاغذی خیلی عمومیه
صفحه‌ی 114

اگه عشق درست و حسابی قد و قامت داشته باشه فلجت می‌کنه
صفحه‌ی 227
