positive reviews for “A Hero,” saying Farhadi’s latest is “shot with precision, written with elegance and unfolding at a thriller-like pace.”Farhadi had conceded that the film is based on the same true story as “All Winners and Losers,” a documentary developed by Azadeh Masihzadeh while she was a student of Farhadi’s. But Farhadi didn’t credit her, and claimed he had been researching the tale independently.When called out by his student, Farhadi sued Masihzadeh for defamation; she then countersued Farhadi, claiming he had plagiarized her original work.
Iranian pop star Googoosh wows Dubai despite Tehran's outcry
17.03.2022 - 22:49 / abcnews.go.com
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- It was music fit for the troubled times.Her voice full of heartache and tender resolve, Iranian pop diva and national icon Googoosh delivered old hits and songs from her new album to a packed stadium on Thursday in Dubai — just across the Persian Gulf from her home that had banned her from singing for 21 years and where authorities to this day continue to protest her performances.“When our lives pass away in dismal loneliness, where will we find these beautiful moments again?” she crooned in Farsi from the stage at Expo 2020, Dubai’s world’s fair. “Let my dreams not be forever unfulfilled.”Dressed at first in a simple white dress and later changing into a shimmering black gown, she swayed her hips gently and said she hoped people would remember the night forever.The audience went wild.Googoosh’s classic pre-1979 Islamic Revolution songs drew cheers and shouts of recognition, as Iranian concert-goers sang every word of the cabaret-style ballads and jump-danced to her discotheque tunes.“I can’t tell you how much I love her,” gushed 35-year-old Sarah Ali, an Iranian fan who traveled from Oman for the concert and arrived at Expo nine hours early to get as close as possible to the stage.
“My country has so many problems, the economy is terrible, the government is, you know, there are no freedoms. But we have our legend.”The life of 71-year-old Googoosh, born in Tehran as Faegheh Atashin, has echoed Iran’s times of turmoil before and after the Islamic Revolution.Under the Western-backed shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Googoosh rocketed to fame in the 1960s and 1970s as a Tehran cabaret star.
