Trailer Watch: This Is Not a Film
This is definitely a trailer even though this is not a film.
This Is Not a Film
|
Plot Summary: Jafar Panahi, the jailed Iranian filmmaker forbidden from making movies for 20 years, finds a way to craft a documentary about his incarceration and the story he has rolling around in his head. Release Date: February 29, 2012 |

Rating: C+ Commentary: This rather simplistic poster will appeal to the demographic it needs to, though not on a very visceral level. |
Rating: B Commentary: The trailer paints this film as being a rather oblique attempt by a censored filmmaker to escape the creative imprisonment forced upon him. Based on that simple statement, it sounds like a winner, but the trailer isn't quite as clever. |

Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here. Oscar Chances: Iran will obviously not submit the film to the Academy, though producers could push it through the festival circuit and earn Panahi a Documentary Feature nomination. Then again, to protect Panahi from retribution in his home country, they might consider it "not a film" as the title suggests and keep it out of circulation. |
