On the other hand, there were also some radical reactions to such depictions of the prophet, including the atrocious Charlie Hebdo attack, which we definitely weren’t happy about especially for the impression such attacks give of Islam as a religion steeped in violence. We had no reaction to offer except for objections and limited protestations voiced by Muslims. For example, the offensive cartoons and depictions of the prophet, which were published by a Danish newspaper, followed by the satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo cartoons, in addition to many hostile depictions which were presented in western media to provoke Muslims’ feelings and their values. Majid Majidi (MM): We’ve been witnessing a violent surge of negative propaganda against the prophet Muhammad for the past seven or eight years. The film was chosen to represent Iran in next year's Oscar for the best foreign film category.Īhram Online recently met with Majidi in Montreal and conducted the following interview about the film, the intentions behind it, and the preparations phase.Īhram Online: What inspired you to make this film? This is possibly a result of the dramatic narrative, which is manifested by jumps from one stage of the prophet’s life to the other. Muhammad made its international debut at the opening of the Montreal World Film Festival in August and was released in Iran on the same day.ĭespite its brilliant cinematography, the film’s dramatic structure has an array of weaknesses. The film, which cost about $40 million, was produced by the Nourtaban Film Industry, a private company and an offshoot of a charity organisation that carries the same name. The only use of Arabic is during the recitation of Quran. Most of the film’s dialogue is in Farsi, and some is in Hebrew. Throughout the film, we see the prophet dressed in white and depicted from the back or the side with a beam of light surrounding him in every appearance. 'Muhammad', the first of a planned trilogy, focuses on the prophet’s early life. The film was written and directed by Majid Majidi who is considered one of Iran’s most important filmmakers, and whose repertoire includes The Children of Heaven (1997) that was nominated for the foreign-language film Oscar, The Color of Paradise (1999) and Baran (2001). Since plans for its production were announced years ago, talk has not ceased about the Iranian epic film Muhammad: The Messenger of God.
