The Lowland takes you deep into the lives of those scraping by on the fringes of Tehran. Shot over five years, it immerses you in their world through intimate, daily exchanges. The atmosphere is raw and striking, with a pacing that feels both contemplative and urgent. It’s not just a look at poverty; it’s a meditation on resilience amidst the refuse of modern life. The practical effects are the real deal, capturing the grit and texture of daily existence.
