Flowers of Evil

About This Movie

Flowers of Evil weaves a delicate tapestry of emotions against the backdrop of Paris and Tehran. There's this palpable sense of disconnection in the air, you know? Gecko and Anahita's journey is almost like a dance—free yet constrained, love intertwined with the weight of history and exile. The pacing is languid, letting you linger in the nuances of their relationship. The dialogue has a spontaneity that feels genuine, like real conversations rather than scripted lines. The film cleverly uses the digital realm to reflect their isolation, which is pretty distinctive for its time. And though the director remains unknown, the performances have this raw, unfiltered quality that really pulls you in. It’s one of those pieces that just sits with you.
