Iranian film director Mohammad Rasoulof flees after jail sentence

Rasoulof won the Golden Bear in 2020 for 'There is No Evil', and the audience favorite at my local festival. Iranian directors have always fascinated me, the way they explore ultra serious subjects with a respectful "levity" I can't quite describe. When I'm feeling sad or depressed, I'd rather watch an Iranian film about death than sit through anything German is what I always say.
