The Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf has suggested new ways of valuing human relationships and communities that move beyond particular ethnic and class divisions towards a world of human understanding, tolerance, and appreciation of otherness. For Makhmalbaf, this new vision is best represented through an awareness of natural beauty, the steadfastness of interpersonal relationships that overcome social stigmas and oppressive roles, and an inclusive vision of national history. The revolutionary agendas of the Islamic Republic must be turned towards the affirmation of a strong cultural identity that emphasizes openness towards nature and humankind through a compassionate skepticism. This positive critical understanding in Makhmalbaf's films avoids cynical withdrawal or aggressiveness by engaging positively with both Iran's rich past and the possibilities of freedom offered by Western cultural forms. By holding to this vision, Makhmalbaf confronts Iran's recent past, offering a positive opportunity for progressive change by rejecting neither traditional Persian cultural norms nor Western ways of thinking. |
