Woe to us!

We are tired of all this interference. From a government within government.

Iranian Cinema except for one or two controversial films, is full of trivial and mean comedies!

There are many artists who have cultural concerns!

Who is the enemy of national and cultural cinema?

I think some enemies have infiltrated the body of current cultural decision-making!.

Journalist Pejman Mousavi wrote on his Twitter: "The simple meaning of banning the movie is that even if the state's apparatus permits a movie to be released with substantial amounts of censorship and the movie is released, there are those who can bring the movie down with a command."

Now let's see how the Guidance office wants to stand up to its permissions!
