Terrestrial Verses follows everyday people from all walks of life as they navigate the cultural, religious, and institutional constraints imposed on them by various social authorities, from schoolteachers to bureaucrats. These stirring vignettes, humorous and affecting, capture the spirit and determination of people amid adversity, offering a nuanced portrait of a complex society. “[A] thoroughly modern work of bracing concision, elegance and blistering deadpan humor, one that pulses with sorrow and outrage over the absurdity of authoritarian dictates that aim to crush souls” (Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter). (Dir.: Ali Asgari & Alireza Khatami, Iran, 2023, 77 min., DCP, Persian with English subtitles)
