We showed the trailer for Under the Shadow before our very first TOM’s Film Club screening, and we’re pretty stoked to be able to bring this
Submitted as Britain’s entry for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 89th Academy Awards, Under the Shadow is the supernatural and socio-political debut film of Babak Anvari, and covers the ghostly goings on of a mother and daughter living in post-revolution Tehran of 1988.
After an unexploded missile skims the top of their apartment building, Dorsa, the daughter of the film, is under the strong impression that spirits are now haunting their home while her mother Shideh, grounded more in the grim reality of their situation, is more concerned for the return of her husband from the Iran-Iraq War. But is it the mother projecting her anxiety that is the cause of her daughter’s night terrors, the family’s war-torn surroundings, or is there something even more frightening at foot? It is this blurring of reality which makes Anvari’s first film truly terrifying, and like A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, it conveys a significant lasting message about Iranian identity and gender politics which are as relevant today as they were thirty years ago when this film was set.
“A very impressive feature debut by Iran-born, London-based film-maker Babak Anvari, this is thoughtful, provocative and increasingly scary fare, which succeeds equally as feminist fable, fractured family drama and full-on fright-fest.” Mark Kermode, The Guardian
