Flowers of Evil
David Dusa
Feature Film | France | 2010 | 98 min.
An attraction blooms when footloose hotel clerk Rachid meets Anahita, a Tehrani college student exiled to Paris by her parents. Capturing the energy of social media in an innovative and powerfully visceral way, Iran's 2009 post-election demonstrations and the government's brutal reprisals captured on YouTube are incorporated into a tender love story. Anahita worries over the rapidly unfolding events in Iran, which she follows obsessively on her computer and smartphone. The apolitical Rachid's knowledge of Iran is shaped through footage and his lover's response to it. Torn between guilt and feelings of isolation living outside her homeland, Anahita must choose.
