Azar Nafisi Quotes

Looking Back On That Time It Seems To Me That Such Rapture Over Tarkovsky By An Audience Most Of Whom Would Not Have Known How To Spell His Name, And Who Would Under Normal Circumstances Have Ignored Or Even Disliked His Work, Arose From Our Intense Sensory Deprivation. We Were Thirsty For Some Form Of Beauty, Even In An Incomprehensible, Overintellectual, Abstract Film With No Subtitles And Censored Out Of Recognition. There Was A Sense Of Wonder At Being In A Public Place For The First Time In Years Without Fear Or Anger, Being In A Place With A Crowd Of Strangers That Was Not A Demonstration, A Protest Rally, A Breadline Or A Public Execution.
