Red Carpet

An Iranian man with high hopes of becoming a professional actor
arrives in Cannes, France to meet Spielberg but his expectations and the reality
are not so much alike.
Reza Attaran, the director, actor
and screenwriter of “Red Carpet” has
said that he doesn’t intend to mock Iranians in his film.
He shot the
film during the 66th Cannes
Film Festival in May 2013. The film spotlights the contrast between the
celebrities who are excessively concerned about their costume designs, and the
people whose main concern is only cinema, when they step on the red carpet at
the prestigious film gala.
“In the film, you see that
the foreign guests of the festival behave like what we do. The film doesn’t mock
anybody,” Attaran said in press conference held after the premiere of his
film at the 32nd
Fajr International Film Festival in Tehran on Friday. About 200
actors appear in the film, but only six of them know that they are acting in the
production, he stated. Attaran has written the screenplay based on
a plot by producer Ahmad Ahmadi.
 “I got the idea for making the film
few years ago when I attended the Cannes festival,” Ahmadi said at the
press conference. “I thought what
would happen on the red carpet if we have a character whose main concern is
cinema beside many others who only think of their appearance and attire,”
he added. Attaran plays the main character in the
film. “The main character of the film is very
close to the real character of Attaran. He enjoys the simplicity the character
has in the film,” Ahmadi said.
 “Attaran’s directorship and acting
give weight to the film, and all attempts to make the film would be fruitless if
we were to ignore him in any one of the positions,” he
added.
Synopsis
Quotation from the film: The good thing about here, abroad, is that a lot of
things seem to be less important. They want actors, so as long as you're good at
acting they won't care much about your hair, eye colour or how tall you are. I'm
just saying, is Dustin Hoffman good looking really? Hell no! But he is a true
actor...Their most beautiful figure here is Marilyn Monroe; the rest look just
like me. If I can just get a job here, it'll be great.
