‘Beyond the Wall’ Review: A Grueling Guided Tour of an Iranian Police-State Nightmare
A suicidal blind man and an epileptic fugitive mother become physically and psychologically trapped in Vahid Jalilvand's bruisingly assaultive polemic against Iranian state oppression.
By Jessica Kiang
Sep 8, 2022
11:31am PT
Nobody emerges unscathed — least of all the audience — from Vahid Jalilvand‘s highly effective, deeply unpleasant “Beyond the Wall,” a morbidly violent allegory for the effects of state-sponsored trauma on the individual that places contemporary Iranian society somewhere on the map between the sixth and seventh circles of hell. A strange combination of intricate, almost sci-fi-inflected psychological thriller, splenetic social-breakdown broadside and two-hander (torture) chamber drama, it is an exercise in bravura filmmaking applied to a story so relentlessly grim you might wish it were a little less well-made, giving you an excuse to look away. In his 2017 film “No Date No Signature” (which won Best Director and Best Actor in Venice’s Horizons sidebar), Jalilvand pictured a stratified society teetering on the edge of legality and morality; here, however, it has toppled entirely into the abyss. The only way is down, and the filmmaker is bringing you with it.
These uncompromising intentions are signalled by an opening salvo that would surely be any other film’s brutalizing emotional nadir, as we’re introduced to Ali (“No Date, No Signature” star Navid Mohammadzadeh) in the commission of an attempted suicide. No mere “cry for help,” it is not just the act itself but the manner he has chosen that is shocking: In the dripping damp of a dingy bathroom, Ali wraps a soaking T-shirt around his head, ties a plastic bag over that and shoves his battered hands down behind the shower pipe, effectively cuffing his own arms behind him while he screams and suffocates. The scene is such a trial to witness, it’s possible to miss the brief, disorienting, semi-subliminal inserts where it appears the violence is being done to him by someone else — or to think you have imagined them.
It is only an insistent pounding on his front door that brings Ali back from the brink. Breaking the pipe and tearing off his plastic shroud, he shuffles, gasping, dripping, broken, to answer it. The men at the door inform him that a woman wanted for a heinous crime has fled custody and was last spotted on the fire escape of his forbiddingly enormous apartment building. They suspect him — for some reason more than all the other residents — of harboring her. Ali shoos the men away, but we know that the woman, Leila (Diana Habibi), has indeed infiltrated his home and is cowering beneath a countertop, hands clasped over her bleeding, chapped lips to stifle her sobs. Ali has not seen her, because he does not see anything much. His failing eyesight is not just a temporary symptom of his recent near-death encounter, but a condition brought on from an earlier trauma, and it is degenerating faster than it should, as Ali refuses to use the treatments prescribed by sympathetic doctor Nariman (Amir Aghaee) on his frequent house calls.
It takes a painfully long time — and rather too many sequences of Ali feeling his way down his apartment’s yeasty, peeling walls, lighting cigarettes with palsied hands and peering at a mysterious letter he’s received — but eventually, as must happen, Ali discovers Leila. She is, and remains, terrified throughout but in Ali she has lucked upon the one man in this whole building (perhaps even the one man in all of Iran) who wants, obscurely, to help her. It might be because, given his initial state, he has little to lose. But perhaps it is something else, something like a shot at redemption for the unknown sins of a past that more frequently forces itself into the present as Ali and Leila’s predicament worsens.

But perhaps it is something else, something like a shot at redemption for the unknown sins of a past that more frequently forces itself into the present as Ali and Leila’s predicament worsens.
The tricksiness of the finale, however, does somewhat undercut the seriousness of the film’s more intriguing ideas about how a prison made of concrete can never so comprehensively constrain us as the prisons of the body and the mind. Ali’s failing eyesight, his nerve-damaged hands, his stooped posture and proliferating scars, as well as Leila’s epilepsy and her son’s muteness, can be read as a fleshy physiological allegory for state violence and oppression, as damage to the body social manifesting in damage to actual bodies. But the metaphor only really works up to the point when Jalilvand’s overly complicated plotting comes round on itself. In any case, after more than two hours of seizures, crashes, riots, shootouts, beatings, and endlessly relived trauma, some of the finer points of the movie’s philosophy may escape you, just as you, too, are longing for escape.

Beyond the Wall (2022), dir. Vahid Jalilvand
Ali, a blind man, is attempting to commit suicide when he is interrupted by the concierge of his building. He is informed that the police is in search of a woman who has escaped and hidden somewhere in the building. Little by little, Ali finds out that the fugitive woman, Leila, is inside his apartment. After participating in a workers’ protest that led to chaos, she is distraught about her four-year-old son who was lost when she was taken in a police van. Gradually, Ali becomes emotionally attached to her. Wishing to flee reality, helping Leila becomes a refuge in his own world of imagination.

can you write a fic where the logan sergeant defenders are all drivers and noelle gets into a fist fight with logan?
DRIVERS ????
WARNING QND DISCLAIMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
consented racism and unconsented ageism against noelle obviously under the cut
and also my opinions dont cancel me over this stupid shit tjanks 😁😁
red bull
goatifi
-> 2x wdc, clutched up AD21 and took the checkered flag 10 times (scoring an extra 250 points) and won the championship instead of max or lewis and caused outrage. also scored a redbull seat
max verstappen
-> DUDUDUDU MAX VERSTAPPEN DUDUDUDU MAAX VERSTAPPEN no seriously he won the championship by lap 1 😞
ferrari
fernando alonso
-> future 3x wdc, promising 43 yrold rookie future of f1 who is unfortunately unable to escape the torturous clutches of ferrari (finally wins a wdc for them too)
charles leclerc
-> is chained up and shackled at the bottom of ferrari HQ and fed cold soup and stale bread twice a week and cannot be released unless its race weekend. (inspired by the james vowles c.ai bot i got bored and talked to who had alex albon, who he called alaobono, in a cage for biting williams guests. also he crawled on all fours and threw chairs and printers)
mercedes
liyah amelia grace habibi afzal @foreveralbon
-> when f1 eventually brought sepang back onto the calendar, liyah was fighting for P1 a few laps in when her engineer mentioned sightseeing at KL’s twins towers (the petronas towers). this was a mistake as upon hearing those words, liyah was immediately inhabited by the spirit and earthly energies of her late uncle: muhammad hazam “ارهابي” omar afzal, who passed down his loving lifelong legacy to her via muscle memory and pure instinct aka going back to her roots. anyways, she flung her car towards a corner with banking and projectile launched herself at 346km/h over 60km distance between her and her goal over the span of a shocking 10 minutes and 24 seconds!!! liyah escaped the incident with little injury, but the same cannot be said for those inside the towers (towers as in plural because george russell flew past her into the 2nd tower shortly after). media had an absolute fucking field day
george russell
-> misses half his races to film ads for tommy hilfiger and marriot bonvoy. toto gets pissed and kicks him out of their sleepover party which makes george severely depressed but its ok cz he gets married to carmen in his fav hotel marriot w a british royalty themed wedding (hes dressed as princess diana)
mclaren
lando norris
-> 4x wdc, paid goatifi to take out max and asked oscar to pull a kmag in saudi and decimated a 1-2 at silver stone hip hip hooray also he got fucked into the monaco hairpin barriers and was injured permanently unable to grow a pedostache
oscar piastri
-> 999x wdc, boy oh boy where do i even begin. the loml, oscar piastri. you truly are my sunshine. my only sunshine. you make me happy when skies are gray. you’ll never know dearrrrr how much i looove youuu please dont takee my sunshine awaaaaayyyyyyyy pookie wookie aookie bookie cookie dookie eookue fookie gookie hookie iookie jookie kookie lookie mookie nookie oookie pookie quookie rookie sookie tookie uookie vookue wookue xookie yookie zookie

yuki tsunoda
-> 50x wdc. my goat 🐐 he beat daniel 23-1 and is a fucking LEGENDDDDDD MY GOAT TRRRRRAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOINTS AND YUKAMPIONSHIP LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
liam lawson
-> he finally let his hair grow out so he doesnt look like a lesbian anymore cutie patootie finally got a seat 😜😜
aston martin
avis cloostefek @aviscarrentals
-> actively trying to seduce lawrence stroll for that bank cz shes kinda broke idk the f1 life pays her less rhan she thought???? regularly breaks into the VIP area and eats all rhe food in catering because shes pasty pale white and has no cuisine culture except crackers and unseasoned boiled chicken and a side of cheese soggy french fries
lance stroll
-> justice for lance guys his dad is being seduced by a pasty white woman with very bad very severe chronic culture-less behavioural tendencies 😞
alpine..
lea @vroomvroomcircuit
-> im sorry but someone had to be in the alpine and i picked u🥰 much love!! anyways one fine typical tuesday lea remembered that her teammate is french and her deeprooted german moustache man awakened and unleashed havoc upon the french demanding her right to the land of the baguettes and croissant to be reclaimed for the return of glory for the motherlandYAA deutschland 🇩🇪 NEIN DA FÜHRER SAUSAGE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
pierre gasly
-> french ☹️
haas
althea noelle. @disneyprincemuke
-> 10x destructors championship. an antique and prehistoric primordial being in the form of a petite pinoy creature. it has devoted to the art of racing since the dawn of time. since day was night, night was day as the two parallels of each other blurred in a flourish and spectacle of a draped veil over the vast expanse known as the horizon, since the stars aligned side by side in the darkest of hours. she raced upon the lands of pangea, upon the tallest of mountains now reduced to stones and rubble that crumble under footsteps and blow with the breeze. throughout millennia, throughout the countless frigid winters and blistering summers as she watched empires rise and fell, civilisation bloom and prosper, tyrants dictate and rebels overthrow, dynasties rule and eras whirl past like the wind, akin to momentary blips as centuries compile into memories viewed back upon within seconds. the only divinity to harbour ancient knowledge lost to time and space, lost through endless bloodshed of war as humanity tore itself apart , screaming aggressive rage and agony from the inside as flesh ripped flesh as the steady drill of what could be known as time mercilessly marched on, and waited for none. the little beam of consciousness this dingus fostered within burnt bright bold as passion strove on as fuel for her little stature (shocking). also she has yet to score a point in f1 cz she keeps twinning logan sargeant and crashing out on the 1st lap. her nickname is turn one thea 💀💀💀
TLDR; noelle is old and hasnt scored in f1
kevin magnussen
-> https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSFGTu8tL/

Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly, yeah, streaming? And the rockets' red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave also twinning noelle loves crashing

Bestie I just re read that quarantine one shot you wrote for Bruce and the babies and I NEED more of it 😭😭😭
"Baba"
"Yes Habibi?"
"Do you love me very much?"
"Of course Habibi, I adore you from heaven to the universe, back and forth"
"That's little baba"
"Mmm- what do you think? I love you so much I'd go to the centre of the universe to bring you a star?"
"No, I don't want you far from my side, another thing baba"
"Let's see… I love you so much I wouldn't mind leaving Gotham City in Uncle Barry's hands, like this?"
"You sure? Even if it is Halloween night?"
"Yes Damian, even if it's Halloween; You're the light of my life, my whole heart… but that doesn't mean I'm going to get you that giraffe."
"But-"
"And just because I love you from the depths of my being doesn't mean I'm going to let your brother convince you that having two elephants is a good idea either."
"Baba?"
"Yes, habibi?"
"But you did allow Jason to redecorate his entire room in an Aunt Diana theme."
"That was Grandpa Alfred, I don't have that much authority Habibi."
"Does that mean I should ask Grandpa Alfred?"
"Of course… and while you're at it ask him if we can have nuggets for dinner."
(The exact posititon that Bruce and Damian had during this conversation)

Iraqi women in Jordan fashion their future
In a Jordanian church, Sarah Nael sews a shirt for a project that has provided scores of women who fled violence in neighboring Iraq with skills to earn a living, as the AFP reports.
Many of the women escaped the extreme violence carried out by the Daesh group’s self-declared “caliphate” that cut across swaths of Iraq and Syria, before they eventually ended up in Jordan — where they found themselves without work.
“Life here is very, very difficult — if we don’t work, we can’t live,” said Nael, a 25-year-old Christian from the northern Iraqi town of Qaraqosh, who joined the “Rafedin” sewing project two years ago.
It is based at St. Joseph Catholic church in the Jordanian capital Amman. Italian priest Mario Cornioli began the project in 2016, along with Italian designers and tailors.
The products, including dresses, jackets, belts and ties, are sold in Amman and Italy to raise funds. For refugees, barred from seeking regular work, the project provides them with a way to supplement handouts from the UN.
“It’s a safe place,” said Nael, who has been taught to create clothes from cloth and leather, while her brother helps in the church’s kitchen. “We are Iraqis. We are forbidden to work anywhere.”
Since the project started, more than 120 women have benefited. “We try to help them with dignity,” said Cornioli, who runs the Habibi Valtiberina Association, an Italian charity in Jordan. “A lot are the only ones working in their families.”
On the tables in rooms in the church building, colorful rolls of cloth lie ready for cutting. Cornioli hopes the “Rafedin” fashion label — meaning “two rivers,” the historical term for Iraq between the Euphrates and Tigris — will become widely recognizable.
While the Daesh extremists were forced out of their Iraqi territory by a US-led alliance in late 2017, many of the refugees in Jordan are still too fearful to go back to their war-ravaged home. Many are still waiting for their painfully slow asylum applications to other countries to be processed.
“This project allowed them to do something and to survive in this period,” Cornioli said. “They are just waiting to leave.”
Nael and her family returned home after Daesh was defeated in 2017, but they left again after being subjected to anonymous threats, and eventually sought safety in Amman. Their applications for asylum in Australia have been rejected.
“My father is old, and my mother has cancer,” she said, but added that going back to Iraq was out of the question. “We have nothing left there to return to.”
Diana Nabil, 29, worked as an accountant in Iraq before fleeing to Jordan in 2017 with her parents and aunt, in the hope of joining her sister in Australia. During her wait, she studied how to sew fabric and leather.
“Some of our relatives help us financially, and sometimes the United Nations helps us a bit,” Nabil said. “With my work here, we are managing.”
Cornioli said the project offers “the opportunity to learn something,” pointing to “success stories” of some of the women who have since left Jordan, and are now working in Australia, Canada, and the United States.
Wael Suleiman, head of the Catholic aid agency Caritas in Jordan, estimated the country hosts as many as 13,000 Christian Iraqi refugees. “They hope to obtain asylum and leave to a third country, but in light of what is going on in the world now, the doors seem to be closed to them,” Suleiman said.

Jalilvand’s “Beyond the Wall” wins big at Iranian Film Festival New York
February 3, 2024 - 17:59
TEHRAN-The winners of the 2nd Iranian Film Festival New York (IrFFNY) were announced on the last day of the festival, which was held from January 25 to February 2.
This year’s edition of the festival presented a selection of acclaimed and award-winning films from one of the world’s most vital and distinguished national cinemas. From the total of 20 feature and short films presented at the event, five titles won the festival awards, ILNA reported.
“Beyond the Wall” written and directed by Vahid Jalilvand was the big winner of the festival as it won the Special Jury Award and also shared the Audience Award with “Subtraction” by Mani Haghighi.
The third and latest film by Jalilvand, “Beyond the Wall” is about a blind man named Ali who attempts suicide, but is interrupted by his building concierge; he then tells Ali about an escaped woman, named Leila, who is hidden in the building. Ali becomes determined to help Leila.
The film stars Navid Mohammadzadeh and Amir Aghaei, who both worked with Jalilvand in his previous film “No Date, No Signature,” which won the Orizzonti Award for Best Actor and Director at the 74th Venice Film Festival. The other members of the cast include Diana Habibi, Saeed Dakh, Danial Kheirikhah, and Alireza Kamali.
“Beyond the Wall” had earlier received several nominations at the 79th Venice International Festival and Asia Pacific Screen Awards.
The other movie that won the Audience Award, “Subtraction,” happens in downtown Tehran where Farzaneh, a young driving instructor, spots her husband, Jalal, walking into a woman’s apartment. When she confronts him, Jalal claims he was out of town for work. He decides to check out the building for himself. There, he meets a woman who is the spitting image of Farzaneh. Her name is Bita. Stunned, the two compare family photos: Bita’s husband also looks identical to Jalal.
Navid Mohammadzadeh, Taraneh Alidoosti, Ali Bagheri, Saeed Changizian, and Gilda Vishki are in the cast among others.
The Best Film Award went to “Empty Nets” by Behrooz Karamizade. An Iran-Germany co-production, it tells the story of Amir and Narges, who have found genuine love in their coastal hometown near the Caspian Sea. However, to gain the approval of Narges' wealthy family, Amir requires a significant amount of money urgently. Faced with limited options, he secures a job at a nearby fishery, embarking on a perilous yet profitable venture involving the illicit smuggling of black-market caviar.
Hamidreza Abbasi and Sadaf Asgari play the main roles in the film that won the special jury award at the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Czech last July.
“A Childless Village” by Reza Jamali received the Artistic or Technical Achievement Award. As suggested by the title, the funny film-in-film comedy is about a small rural village, where no children have been born for a while and all the men assume that it is the fault of the women.
Two decades ago, old filmmaker Kazem came to this remote rural village to make a documentary about the barrenness of the village women. But the village women wanted to protect their dignity, so they stole and burnt the footage.
By today, the villagers have found out that the men are sterile and there is nothing wrong with the women. With the help of his assistant, Kazem tries to record some interviews with the infertile men to unfold the truth in a new movie, but this turns out in many ways to be a Mission: Impossible.
The Best Short Film Award was given to “Nietzschean Suicide” written and directed by Payam Kurdistani.
A suicide pharmacy owner tries to delay the suicide of the only midwife in his city until after his pregnant wife gives birth. Out of his efforts comes a novel suicide method that can revive his customers’ will to live.
Sal Galofaro, Tabassom Ostad, and Rory O’Brien play in the 15-minute flick
The Iranian Film Festival New York aims to unite two strands of Iranian moviemaking – the classic art-house Iranian cinema beloved by cinephiles around the world and new cutting-edge works that showcase the adventurousness and daring nature of younger Iranian directors.

Books for the 11 yr old girl I babysit based on her interests (I’m gonna give her this list)
Prominent girl protagonists
Realism:
-one crazy summer / three girls go to San Francisco in 1968 to live with the mother who abandoned them and learn about her work as a poet and about the civil rights movement
-journey to the river sea / an orphan named Maya is claimed by distant relatives who live in Brazil and run a rubber plantation. They only adopt her to get their hands on the stipend/trust fund she was left so she spends her days avoiding them and learning about the country. In Brazil she meets a miserable boy actor and an heir to an estate who doesn’t want to inherit and instead wants to find his mother’s village far up the Amazon River.
-the star of kazan / in Russia/Austria, an orphan inherits jewels and a lot of adults attempt to get their hands on them.
-going going / a teen girl tries to save the small businesses of her city in Texas in the face of depressing corporate expansion and boring retail .
-habibi (naomi shihab nye)/ a Palestinean-American girl and her family move back to Palestine after decades in the United States and the girl encounters the politics of her father’s country and family plus the beauty of Palestine+Israel.
-island of the blue dolphins (survival) /an indigenous girl is abandoned on an island and lives alone for decades by herself , surviving off what she was taught as a young girl
Fantasy:
-the anybodies / a girl finds out she is not the child of her boring parents and is instead has magical powers that allow her to shapeshift into anybody or anything .
-Kiki Strike and the Shadow City /five middle school girls with special skills discover a network of old tunnels deep underneath manhattan that were built by criminals and they explore them together—notes of ninjas, royal intrigue, real NYC History sometimes thrown in but it is more of a cartoon version of NYC .
-the school of good and evil / two girls who are best friends are abducted from their town and sent to fantasy academies that shape students into heroes or villains . The girls end up in different schools; if they want to be together again they have to break a curse.
-may bird and the ever after / a ten year old and her cat fall into a pond and emerge in a deep netherworld
-inkheart / the daughter of a bookbinder discovers that characters from a fantasy novel are wandering around the real world and tries to put them back into the book.
-akata witch / an albino Nigerian American girl learns she has ancient powers to fight evil.
-the mysterious benedict society / a number of brilliant children with various skills are summoned to a very eccentric school by an organization whose intent is unclear.
-monkey beach (more adult but generally appropriate tho there are references to domestic violence happening to side characters; mixes realism and myth)/ a girl growing up in an alaska native community encounters residue of her people’s myths and history in the form of visions and eventually unearths buried secrets about her family
-east / an adaptation of beauty and the beast but features a tomboy protagonist and takes place in fifteenth or sixteenth century Norway and France . The beast is a polar bear who narrates parts of the book in poems.
Specifically alternate dimension because she liked Wrinkle In Time:
-witch week by diana wynne jones /six eleven year olds in an alternate 1980s Britain discover they are witches and try to survive in a world where witchcraft is illegal and they could be burned if found out .
-charmed life+the lives of christopher chant / a boy finds out he is an enchanter and heir to a position of great power where he will moderate disputes in many different dimensions. He tries to learn the powers he will need to do his job
-interworld by Neil Gaiman (boy protagonist)/different versions of the same boy from different dimensions join together to fight evil
-his dark materials by Philip Pullman / a series dealing with different worlds . Generally is about a tomboy whose father is trying to rip a hole in the universe. the actual first two books are about her trying to rescue children whose souls are being cut from them by a secret organization. She rescues them with the help of wandering travelers and a giant bear. And the second book is about her and her new best friend wandering through several dimensions together on the run from mysterious people chasing them down.
Survival (some boy protagonists)
-hatchet /teen boy has to survive in Canadian wilderness
-my side of the mountain /kid runs away and is shockingly effective and making himself a little DIY shelter in the woods
-island of the blue dolphins again -it’s pretty good.
-two old women by Velma Wallis -two indigenous women abandoned by their tribe survive a whole winter alone in the Alaskan wilderness
-holes by louis sachar - a child whose family is supposedly cursed ends up at a reform camp for boys in a desert that’s run by an evil warden. Eventually involves a myth and a curse and survival on top of a mountain.
