My Take
Mohammad Rasoulof is the rare filmmaker whose work and life are inseparable from real risk. Reading that he makes films in defiance of the Iranian state, and now lives in exile in Europe, recasts every award. The Golden Bear for There Is No Evil isn't just a trophy; it reads to me like a verdict on courage. A Man of Integrity and Manuscripts Don't Burn carry titles that double as statements. I'm wary of romanticizing dissidents, but with him the censorship and the art genuinely feed each other. He's someone whose career I'd follow not for spectacle but to see what a person keeps saying when saying it costs the most.
