In the organizer's words:
Experience the winner of the Locarno Film Festival's Golden Leopard on the big screen!
"Critical Zone" is a film about resistance in hopeless times that captures the spirit of a young Iranian generation and becomes an expression of protest itself. Shot in secret and banned by the Iranian authorities, this film shows us never-before-seen, mesmerizing images from the underworld of Tehran, where despair and rebellion shake hands.
The film is a look at the hopelessness and lack of prospects of the young generation in Iran, who would like to live an internationally oriented life, but exist in a state of alienated shock under the mullah regime. The guide through this sad, always tired world is Amir, a drug dealer. We see him at home, calmly and precisely sorting his drugs like a pharmacist and packing them into small boxes and packets. Then he gets into his car and drives through the city at night to his customers, whom he gives a little relief with his hallucinogenic drugs. His customers are young, desperate, full of fears and inhibitions. None of them dare to dream of a better future. Amir's drugs numb their pain, but nothing more.
The taz says: ""Critical Zone" is not only the best film currently showing in cinemas, it is also one of the best that has been and will be shown on German screens this year."
The Berliner Zeitung says: "From its very first images through a city tunnel, this oppressive portrait of society takes a deep breath to keep us in suspense. Photographed in a visionary way and accompanied by a bittersweet score, it is a sensational film."
