  The Actor (1993 film)

  1993 Iranian film

  The Actor (Persian: هنرپیشه, romanized: Honarpisheh) is a 1993 Iranian film directed by Mohsen Makhmalbaf. The film features Akbar Abdi as Akbar, Fatemeh Motamed-Aria as his wife, Simin, and Mahaya Petrosian as the gypsy girl. The film is a combination of fiction and reality, since the leading character has the same name and occupation as the actor who portrays the role, while the details and events are fictional.^[1][2][3]

  Plot

  An Iranian actor named Akbar is trying to become a serious actor instead of the clown everyone considers him to be. However, financial problems force him to abandon his dream of being an artistic actor. He also has to deal with his family problems and his wife's inability to become pregnant.

  The Actor

  Synopsis:
  Akbar Abdi, the popular film actor has always wanted to act only in serious, art films, but a number of circumstances including financial problems force him to appear in commercial productions. Once again Abdi makes up his mind never to act in commercial movies, but then he finds out that his wife has decided to have a child and …

  Director's View: 

  Film critics hail desica’s “Bicycle’s Thieves with hurrahs since he puts the blame on the social conditions and does not condemn “Fido”, the bicycle thief, ethically. However, the same people judge “Desica”, the filmmaker, with extreme ethicalism and blame him for directing commercial films in his late years. In fact, their system of criticism is entangled with duality; since, they fail to see “Desica” himself is another “Fido”.
  In this film I have looked at an actor’s situation from Desica’s point of view in “Bicycle’s Thieves”.
