Jasmine

About This Movie

Jasmine is an interesting animation that captures a unique moment in history. Set in France at the end of the 70s, it follows Alain, a cartoon filmmaker, as he navigates love and political upheaval after meeting Jasmine, an Iranian student. The pacing is a bit leisurely, but it allows the viewer to soak in the atmosphere of the era. The tension grows as the story shifts to Tehran during the revolution—there's a palpable sense of danger that looms. The animation style is distinct, almost dreamlike, which contrasts sharply with the serious themes of love and political strife. Performances are subtle yet effective, leaving a lasting impression about the complexities of love amid chaos.
