Iran/Human Interest/Society ::
Iran 2008
They still prefer sheep's head, a group of elderly decide, but the struggle seems lost – pizza is here to stay. These days, young people in Tehran are meeting up in pizzerias rather than kebab joints or traditional Iranian restaurants. In the absence of night clubs, the pizzeria is the main place to get a feeling of Western freedom. This amusing fast paced documentary about eating habits in modern Tehran, offers a kaleidoscopic view of Iranian society. We see young and elderly people, progressive and conservative Iranians who all reveal their identity by telling us what they think of Italian fast food in their capital city. A young man claims that eating pizza is a sign of decadence and adds for relaxation he goes to the cemetery to pray for the martyrs, and every other year, he gets an injection to curb his desires. Then there is the pizzeria run by fan of Marlon Brando who called it 'The Godfather', only to have it changed by the authorities to 'Aladdin'.
