Visiting Tehran, Shiraz, Persepolis, and a small village, we’ll get a rare present-day look at of some of civilization’s most important historical sites, and a sense of Iran’s 21st-century culture. From architecture and art to faith and everyday living, “Iran, Yesterday and Today” offers a rare, candid, and humanizing look at a great if perplexing nation.

Documentary in which writer and journalist Christopher de Bellaigue explores the fraught but often surprisingly intimate history of Britain’s relations with Iran, and asks why Iranians think that if something goes wrong in Iran then Britain must have something to do with it.
De Bellaigue has lived in Tehran, speaks fluent Persian and knows well the phenomenon of ‘Uncle Napoleonism’, the notion that the cunning British are ‘out to get you’ that has been a common attitude in Iranian society for 100 years. He looks at some key events in the relationship, notably Britain’s role in the overthrow of… Continue reading...

It’s virtually impossible to approach No Direction Home without a cluster of fixed ideas. Who doesn’t have their own private Dylan? The true excellence of Martin Scorsese’s achievement lies in how his documentary shakes us free of our comfortable assumptions. In the process, it plays out on several levels at once, each taking shape as an unfailingly fascinating narrative. There is, of course, the central story of an individual genius… Continue reading...
