I'm Not Sure That My Films Show The Reality Of Life In Iran; We Show Different Aspects Of Life. Iran Is A Very Extensive And Expansive Place, And Sometimes, Even For Us Who Live There, Some Of The Realities Are Very Hard To Comprehend.

My Last Experience Of Film-making Was Tickets, A Three-episode Film In Italy, The Third Of Which Is Directed By Myself. It's Not For Me To Judge Whether It's A Good Film Or A Bad Film, But What I Could Say Is That Nobody Had A Cultural Or Linguistic Issue With What Was Produced.

They Are Curious About Each Other And They Can Understand Each Other Without Being Fed Information. Why Should It Be Different In Cinema?
