‘The Great Yawn of History’ Review: A Treasure-Hunt for Certainty in Iranian Caves
23.02.2024 - 20:47 / variety.com
Siddhant Adlakha Aliyar Rasti’s excellent Iranian feature debut, “The Great Yawn of History,” wrestles with faith and disillusionment during a woebegone treasure hunt. Pious, middle-aged Beitollah (Mohammad Aghebati) believes his recurring dreams of finding gold coins at the end of a dark cave.
But since picking up lost money is haram — or religiously forbidden in Islam — he employs a world-weary young agnostic, Shoja (Amirhossein Hosseini), to accompany him on his journey, resulting in a tale that’s as mysterious and melancholy as it is wryly funny. The film is sold first and foremost by its precise performances.
Both leading men appear to conform to specific types, between the overbearing Aghebati’s sharp, to-the-point delivery and Hosseini’s worn-out demeanor, burdened posture and sunken eyes. The contrasting energies they bring to the screen imbue their trip from Tehran to the rural landscape with withheld, sardonic wit, but Rasti never loses sight of the spiritual questions in the characters’ peripheries.
Bit by bit, both actors unpack more complex layers to their characters, between Beitollah’s lingering doubts about his own convictions and Shoja’s detachment from the modern world, as a young man so desperate for work he’s willing to go along with this superstitious scheme. The specter of Iran’s staggering youth unemployment looms large over the story, right from the moment Beitollah begins luring in wayward young men for a job interview by dropping counterfeit American $100 bills on the ground.
