Happy Nowruz Everyone! The year 1401 (and the 15th century) is upon us and with the new century it makes sense to take a look at what has passed, through the eyes of a movie with a very peculiar happenstance: "Jafar Khan Az Farang Bargashte" (roughly translated to "Jafar Khan Has Returned From Abroad"). This particular movie, released in 1988, is a comedy from... well... nobody. It has no name for writer, director or producer on the poster or in the opening and closing credits. It's an abandoned movie, with a very interesting premise. So it might be a good idea to check out the movie's narrative, what it is alluding to in Iranian history and culture, and what happened behind the scenes to make it into what it is.
