My Stolen Planet review home-movie bulletins unearths Iran's forbidden past
Briefly

Farahnaz Sharifi's personal essay film intertwines her experiences growing up in post-revolution Iran, contrasting public life with the private joy of home.
Sharifi reflects on home movies as dangerous memories from a time of freedom, now discarded yet radical documents of personal history and collective nostalgia.
The film links her childhood home videos with contemporary digital recordings of protests, illustrating a continuity in Iranian artistic expression amidst repression.
Though certain aspects of her video diary feel indulgent, the film's exploration of Tehran and its surreal imagery provides a compelling lens into her world.
