Say Hi to Soso

About This Movie

Say Hi to Soso is an interesting little gem from 1990, weaving a tale of moral ambiguity and desperation. The film dives deep into the murky waters of corruption through its protagonists, Saeed and Samir, who, under the pressure of financial strain, take a dive into the world of bribery. There’s a gritty atmosphere that hangs over the narrative, which really captures the essence of their struggles. The pacing meanders a bit, reflective of the characters' own indecision. The performances feel raw and unpolished, which somehow adds to the film's authenticity. What stands out here is the moral conflict played out against the backdrop of everyday life, making it a unique take on the ethics of survival.

This film has limited format availability, which makes it quite rare among collectors. Various VHS copies can pop up occasionally, but finding a well-preserved version is a bit of a treasure hunt. Interest tends to be niche, focusing primarily on those who appreciate international cinema and tales of moral complexity. It’s not the kind of film that floods the market, so if you come across it, it’s worth considering for a deeper dive into lesser-known 90s cinema.
