Iran`s Dariush Mehrjuii plans to make film with “The Tenants” ambiance

TEHRAN,Aug.30(MNA)-- Daruis Mehrjuii plans to embark on making “So Good, You’ve Returned”, which he said will likely reprise the atmosphere of his acclaimed comedy drama “The Tenants”. He will also write the screenplay for the film, which he will produce by himself as well. “The Tenants” (1986), which was about several families living in a dilapidated building in a suburb of Tehran, was acclaimed by critics and filmgoers. Film critics said that Mehrjuii’s sense of filmmaking has begun to wane following the premiere of his previous movie “The Orange Dressed”, about the environment, in early spring this year. The film critics and fans always compare Mehrjuii’s films with his cult film “Hamun” (1989), about Hamid Hamun and his wife Mahshid who is leaving him. Mehrjuii said that “Hamun” has turned into a problem for him during a ceremony publisher Hermes held last week in Tehran to unveil his new book “Daruish Mehrjuii”, which comprises reviews on his films before 1989. “This ‘Hamun’ has made me hapless!” Mehrjuii lamented. He said that “Hamun” has been talked about in every session held to review his films produced over the past decade. “Get off ‘Hamum’s back! I made it and everything about it has finished,” Mehrjuii said.
