Gallardo (@unamerde ) Lantouri, by filmmaker Reza Dormishian, was presented in its uncut version during the 14th edition of the Morelia International Film Festival. The 34-year-old is a writer and director born in Iran, where he made the films Jadoughar (2008), Hatred (2012) and I'm Not Angry! (2014). What begins as the formation of a criminal gang known as 'Lantouri' ends up being a criticism of the "eye for an eye" justice system in Iran. Maryam, one of the members is attacked with acid in the face by one of his companions after rejecting his advances. Take revenge or forgive puts Maryam up against the wall. Reza Dormishian y Daniela Michel. On the audience's reaction to the film "In this movie, I'm trying to show all points of view on the matter. It's like the characters in the film: some say it's okay to forgive, others say it is wrong. This 'eye for an eye' law, of revenge, is very tough. A lot of girls do it, others choose not to, but this comes from the roots of Iran, where if someone kills, they get killed, if someone hangs, they are hung too".
