The Name
2015, Persian. Directed by Leili Rashidi.
Adapted from the French play by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière, this 2015 Iranian production, directed by Lili Rashidi, centers around a family gathering that takes a sharp turn when Vincent, a soon-to-be father, reveals he plans to name his child "Adolf." What starts as a lighthearted conversation quickly spirals into conflict, bringing up buried family secrets and sparking debates over prejudices, societal taboos, and the weight we place on seemingly trivial matters.
