先来翻译一下电影简介吧:
This meditation on cinema and censorship is astounding. Contemporary black and white footage is interspersed with clips from older films, though sometimes the transition is so seamless one can't tell when one ends and the other begins. Crude special effects are used to create a surreal atmosphere that owes a tremendous debt to Luis Bunuel, particularly Exterminating Angel and Un Chien Andalou. There's also a Kubrick tribute towards the end of the film. No amount of exposition will prepare you for this film, which truly has to be seen to be believed. Highest rating and recommendation.
  This film has many characteristics of classic cinema. It contains action, adventure, and romance. This film was made in Iran. The protagonist looks almost like Charlie Chaplain. He is given a chance to make films for the emperor. There are many scenes of people running on and off of movie screens, and in and out of old kinetiscope projectors. Some people might find this erratic, and tedious, but it helps project an idea of fantasy, or forgetting about ones problems, becoming engrossed in a film. This film is quite enjoyable, it is a sort of history of Iranian films.

电影展示出的幻想和审查是非常惊人的。现代的连续黑白影像中点缀有老电影的剪辑,有时这种转切是那么地天衣无缝以至于每人能察觉出片段的开始和结束。特殊的粗糙效果用来制造出超现实主义效果,欠了Luis Bunuel尤其是Exterminating Angel and Un Chien Andalou一大笔债。影片的结尾是向Kubrick致敬的。对这部电影,你也不能有什么解释,它只有看了之后才能相信。最高的评价和推荐。
这部电影有着经典影片的许多特点。它包括,表演,冒险和浪漫。影片来自伊朗。那些画面看起来就像是Charlie Chaplain。他有机会为皇帝制作影片。有许多场景就是人们从电影萤幕中或者摄影师的镜头中跑进跑出,有些人可能觉得这很古怪或者乏味,但是这正是创造了一种幻想的概念,或者忘记了一些问题而专注于电影中。这个片子是非常有趣的,它是伊朗电影历史的一个片段。

------------------------------------------------------
我承认,我没有找到明显的情节,貌似是一个为皇帝拍电影的电影人制片人被判了死刑,但后来被解救了。他电影中的女子跑了出来,成了皇帝这辈子最爱的女人,可却不能得到。
但影片包含了一些我喜欢的元素:
有趣、简单、荒诞、荒诞中透着悲观+乐观、剪辑很舒服
像是一部话剧,但比话剧具有更多电影应该有的镜头冲击感

我唯一不能理解的是,为什么是伊朗电影历史的浓缩?我怎么觉得是一个童话呢?一开始还一脸严肃地以为要看一部纪录片呢……

现在很怕看古老的厄长的黑白片。这部《伊朗电影往事》没有这种感觉。中间有些镜头真的没有理解,有待再次观看。但就仅仅看看人物的表演和对话也已经满足了。
因为,即使tom waits,我听不懂在唱什么,我也能喜欢上呢。
