Tehran Has No More Pomegranates marks the arrival of a new auteur in Iranian cinema – Massoud Bakhshi. The film belongs to that rare breed: a collage 'ciné poem' of a great city metropolis. Like its spiritual brethren Berlin: Symphony of a City and Man with a Movie Camera, Pomegranates is at once suffused with a dizzying array of photographs and never before seen archive film from the past century brought together with a witty voiceover and a pulsating musical score by Mohsen Namjoo. Shot over five years and deploying a range of experimental film devices, it captures with humour and razor-sharp observation the transformation of Tehran from rural village to city of dreams.
