Dutch Art IN A GLOBAL AGE
Masterpieces from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
NOVEMBER 10–FEBRUARY 9
Dutch Art in a Global Age: Masterpieces from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is supported in part by Frost, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the Fort Worth Tourism Public Improvement District. Organized by Promotional support provided by
My wife and I live in Fort Worth. We have lived and traveled all over the world. Because of a special interest in art, I have visited the Louvre, the Prado, the Rijksmuseum, the Alta Pinakothek, the British Museum, the Egyptian Museum, the Museumsinsel, the Met, and the Greek Archaeological Museum, inter alia. I am not boasting. I simply wanted to visit them. In probably every one, I have seen pictures or statues of men and women who were nude. OMG!!! How exciting to see the bare breasts of a female statue created 3,000 years ago. Or the statue of David without loincloth in Florence. My point is: It is art, not pornography.
I read with interest your article about Sally Mann’s pictures (or lack thereof) in the Modern (“Nanny State on Patrol,” Jan 22). Two questions came to mind. One, has Tim O’Hare been to any of the museums I have visited? Or does he know anything about art? And second, are we about to have Kristallnacht in Fort Worth (O’Hare) or the U.S. (the president)?!
Frankly, Anthony, I admire you because you have the cajones to write or express what many people like myself believe, but most of us are afraid of speaking out because of retribution. These folks are so concerned about their children reading a book they deem offensive or seeing a picture they believe is pornographic, but they think nothing of hating Blacks, immigrants, and nonevangelicals or demanding the right to guns and killing with a gun if they are distressed.
I enjoy reading the Weekly and hope you can continue to tell the truth about the corruption and far-right conspiracies being fomented here in Tarrant County.

Blue Balls
“What happened?” My comments are in regard to the esoteric article “Them Inaugural Blues” written by Mr. Ken WheatcroftPardue published in the January 22-28 edition of the Fort Worth Weekly.
Dear Mr. Wheatcroft-Pardue, simply put, referencing your champion, Obama, “You lost!” It’s just that simple, and it was not by the “smallest of margins.” The Electoral College was 312 for Trump and 226 for V.P. Harris. The question of why you lost and the why you feel so blue can be explained very easily.
First, the majority of American voters didn’t buy into the feel-good rhetoric espoused by Vice President Harris, nor did they believe that she and her cronies could manage anything more than a kitchen recipe. Your reference to Jimmy Carter is a perfect correlation of today with past events caused by Mr. Carter and his administration. Mr. Biden and Mrs. Harris managed to hurt the pocketbook of
the American voter in less than four years, which is the ultimate political sin, and both candidates — Carter then and Harris now — demonstrated during their terms in office that they had extremely poor managerial acumen with nationwide crises that impact the American voter.
Your buddy Mr. Carter handled the energy crisis poorly and led the country
into the highest inflation rate since the 1890s. Today, under the Biden/Harris administration, the impact of inflation over the past four years has seen everyday prices of household goods increase in the range from 18% to 23% since 2021. Just like Carter in 1980, Mrs. Harris lost at the ballot box because the American voter was the one feeling the blue prior to the November
5 election. They feared another four years of the same rambling and draining of their wallet would be intolerable.
So, what does that tell us about you, Mr. Wheatcroft-Pardue? Well, you keep choosing the same. You choose losers! Choosing losers would make me feel blue, too, but in my case, along with the majority of Americans, I don’t feel blue. Not one iota! I feel relieved and encouraged because I chose a winner, and he is doing his best to weed out all of the losers you so appreciate and admire.
By the way, those losers you are talking about scammed you and everybody else in your circle since Obama came into office. They are the ones who have gotten fat and rich these past four years while every other warm-blooded, hard-working American had to endure the pain and suffering of stupid policies of printing money, conformity, and compliance issues. Sounds kind of like the communist communes of the U.S.S.R. and China. It has been reported that $1.5 billion was given to the Harris campaign to get her elected. Where did that money come from and how was it spent? You need to do some soul searching on that fact and start asking questions within your own circle of delusional fanatics. You got scammed! Mr. Wheatcroft-Pardue, you talk of the rich, the very rich, like you are part of their inner circle. You claim to know that these rich individuals don’t pay their fair share of taxes and they are all white supremacists, but when the progressive rich spend $1.5 continued on page 7
billion on one candidate, one election, that seems to be OK just to get your loser into office. The question you should be asking is: “Do they pay their fair share in taxes?” So, this leads me to ask you: “Are you willing to say that the IRS, the most feared taxing agency in the known world, is not doing their job and allowing these rich individuals a way not to pay their taxes?” If this is what you are saying, and you claim to know someone who is not paying their fair share of taxes, then name names and send them to the IRS. Let them do their job, but if you don’t know of anyone who is avoiding paying their fair share of tax, then I would recommend you say so and refrain from making such boisterous and felonious claims, because making false statements and false claims have disastrous outcomes, and we wouldn’t want a progressive like you to lose one’s credibility, would we?
Mr. Wheatcroft-Pardue, where were you during the campaign season? Did you espouse such progressive rhetoric publicly, as you do in your article regarding the problems as you see within American society? If so, how much support did you receive? By the looks of it, not much, I gather. Could this be the root cause of your depressed feelings because rejection leaves wicked barbs in people like yourself. Here is what I recommend, Mr.
Wanna Step Outside, Buddy?
I’m writing you in response to the column, “Them Inaugural Blues,” written by Ken Wheatcroft-Pardue. I usually don’t take the time to write about an opposing view I read, but this column is total nonsense. This writer is nothing more than a crazed left-wing ideologue with a bug up his ass because a record number of Americans voted against his ideology that has taken this country into a dark, dangerous place for four years, where hard-working Americans
Wheatcroft-Pardue. Instead of rehashing delusional facts and espousing hatred in your writings, why don’t you be constructive and write down your solutions for governance? This way, people can have a respectful debate of your ideas. By the way, that’s what the founding fathers did in writing the Federalist Papers. No one back then had all the answers, but they put them out in the public for people to discuss, comment, accept or reject, which ultimately led to a limited form of government, where the debate of issues could be handled in a workable forum in the states and in Congress. What I see from this election is that the American people rejected the victimization of delusional griping people, such as
couldn’t afford groceries, gas, or everyday living expenses.
We’ve also been shamed into this DEI environment of numerous genders and accepting boys in girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms and the low expectations that minorities can’t figure out how to acquire a driver license to be able to vote. Well, I’ve got news for Mr. Ken. Americans voted, and there’s a new sheriff in town. We’re done with crazy, and the adults are back in charge. But guys with a laptop type out columns like this drivel about racism, paying your fair share, overturning the Constitution, blah blah blah, to scare people. I hope this is the
longest 8-12 years of Republican reign of Ken’s existence. I’m available to visit with him should he be offended.

yourself. They got tired of the bureaucratic clowns Mrs. Harris surrounded herself with and wanted to hear real solutions to real problems. So, as you gather your like-minded progressive members, stop the griping and show us what you’re really made of. That’s what Lenin and Mao Zedong did before they put two of the largest societies of the world under a depressed diabolical system of governance. Let’s see what you have to say, and stop being a loser. Get with it! Show us how the linear approach can make everybody the same. Isn’t that what you really want? The Utopian Dream to end all misery?
In closing, when you, Mr. WheatcroftPardue, call President Trump a “Nazi,” please know that “Nazi” is the abbreviated
name for the “National Socialist Workers Party of Germany,” and Donald J. Trump is definitely not a socialist.
I hope this response has helped you come out of your “Inaugural Blues” and spurs you from being a loser to becoming a winner. If not, then you can just sit in your hole, be blue, and pout.

The Best Things to Do This Week, Starting
with a (Very) Weird Wednesday
Wednesdays are weird. On that, we can all agree. Tonight is literally Weird Wednesday, when the Movie Mutant hosts the screening of a mystery movie at Southside Preservation Hall (1519 Lipscomb St, Fort Worth, 817926-2800). This free event also includes a night market and a vintage video preshow to go with the Valentine’s Day-themed filmic offering. The festivities start at 5pm.

The weirdness above is not the only unusual thing happening today. The voting research platform Vote In Or Out (@ VoteInOrOut) says a coordinated series of protests dubbed 50 Protests in 50 States (or #50501) is planned to occur simultaneously at every state capitol at noon for the purpose of uniting likeminded participants in a collective demonstration against Project 2025, among other things. A quick search for “February 5 protests” will lead you to numerous event pages across every state. One of the top results is comedian Cliff Cash, who has a YouTube video and is very well-spoken about all of the above. The idea was initially proposed on Reddit, so you can also go to Reddit.com/r/50501/ for full details.

In his first solo show at the gallery, the Philadelphia-based contemporary artist presents icons of America in a selection of paintings in which he ponders the lore and myths of the modern dream and westward expansion. “His subjects are the finned convertibles of post-war prosperity, grain elevators, lone houses on wide prairies, and modernist homes with space-age rooflines, all promises of a better today,” says art historian E. Luanne McKinnon, adding that Judd’s “particular realism is punctuated by his craft of painting that reveals his hand at work, resulting in a type of American sublime.” The gallery is open 10am-5pm Tue-Fri and 11am-4pm Sat.

Mavs GM Nico Harrison’s inexplicable decision to dump the area’s most beloved athlete has made him the new most hated man in local sports.
BY PATRICK HIGGINS
For the better part of three decades, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been the most vilified figure in local sports. A little more than a week ago, the baseline ire routinely focused on Jones hit an all-time high after the front office’s nonsensical solution to the Cowboys’ maddeningly failed “all-in” 2024 season seemed to be one of the most lazy and uninspiring coaching hires in franchise history. It would have seemed impossible for the power-mad octogenarian to ever be unseated as the most hated sports-oriented man in town. Enter: Mavs General Manager Nico Harrison.
Out of nowhere late Saturday night, Harrison Leroy Jenkins-ed himself into the realm of the abhorrent with a staggering decision that even Jerry’s wildest Johnny Walker-addled judgment could never top. In a stunning move that literally every person in sports — from fans, both hardcore and casual, to the army of media talking heads, plus players, both current and former, and NBA executives, all of whom still grasping at explanations — Harrison unilaterally shipped superstar Luka Dončić, a universally agreed-upon generational talent just
entering the prime of his career, mid-season, to a hated conference rival for seemingly pennies on the dollar.
And just like that, 30-some-odd years of fanbase alienation evaporated for Jerry Jones and has been refocused and distilled into much higher concentrations and is now aimed squarely at Harrison.
The trade that sent Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for an aging, injury-prone Anthony Davis and a 2029 firstround pick is certainly the most explosive trade in Metroplex sports history, probably the most so in NBA history, perhaps even in pro sports history. Comparisons for the move just don’t exist. Never has such an obvious future all-time great been given up on so early in their career. At least not unprompted by the player.
Vague allusions to Harrison’s rationale have been floating up to the surface over the last few days — Luka’s lack of concern for conditioning, his defensive liabilities, his constant bickering with the officials, his drinking problems (?), the looming $350M
on building around Dončić as the Mavs’ superstar centerpiece. He added big names like Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson while bravely cutting ties with others like Jalen Brunson and Kristaps Porzingis. He single-handedly turned a historic franchise deficiency into a strength at the center position with what might be the game’s current best two-man rotation, in addition to stockpiling tons of depth scoring and offthe-bench role players. His efforts, in just three years, have already culminated in two conference finals appearances and the club’s first trip to the NBA Finals since 2011. With his fingerprints on nearly every facet of the lineup, it could be fairly argued that, despite a win-loss record maligned by an onslaught of injury this season (more than 150 mangames lost), this year’s top-to-bottom roster was the best the club has ever had. That is, until the madness of Saturday night.
Like Robert Downey Jr.’s surprise Comic-Con reveal last summer that he would be returning to the MCU, this time not as an Avenger but as the franchise’s next big bad, Dr. Doom, Nico Harrison’s instantaneous turn from hero to villain was sudden and confounding.
supermax extension just over the horizon — but none of them, not even the sum total of them, seem like enough to justify an apparent determination on Harrison’s part to exile the face of the Mavericks’ franchise. Fans are letting him know the bewilderment, the betrayal, and the rage they feel. From the practically funereal vigils held outside of the American Airlines Center to the countless posts of anger and confusion on social media to promises of refusal to renew season tickets or watch the team going forward, fans are demonstrating just how deeply one man thrust a dagger into their little sports hearts. The team’s social media accounts have lost more than a million followers since Sunday. Many more will follow suit.
The irony is, just days ago, in the eyes of many fans, Harrison might have been bordering on infallibility. Since he took charge of basketball operations in the summer of 2021, the former Nike exec has been one of the busiest roster builders in the league. He’s made a series of bold moves — many of them controversial — intent
To his credit, Harrison acknowledges that time will tell if the boldest move in basketball history was, as he sees it, the best move for the franchise. Davis, closing in on 32, is still a Top 10 player in the NBA, and if you could imagine a world where Luka never existed, the current roster (when healthy) is still probably overall better than any to ever see the court in Dallas. Championship runs (at least for the next couple of years) are not out of the question, though now to get there, you’d have to make it past a Lakers team now armed with a stone-cold Luka Dončić motivated by revenge. But even if Harrison’s gamble pays off with championship glory, to a large contingent of fans, it just won’t feel the same. There will always be an asterisk next to the ledger, and the specter of “What if?” will follow any success (or failures) the team has for the next decade.
Aside from Harrison himself, this trade perhaps pleased only one other person, and that’s Jerry Jones, who could probably do anything shy of selling the Cowboys to Mohammad bin Salman and moving them to Saudi Arabia and face less blowback than Harrison will see for the foreseeable future. Harrison is now, and might forever be, Public Enemy No. 1. l
With Jerry Jones long being the most hated man in DFW sports, Nico Harrison says, “Hold my beer.”

ATE DAY8 of Super Bowl Watching
BY ELAINE WILDER
This Sunday, most of us will be watching the Kansas City Chiefs play the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX at 5:30pm on Fox. Are you going out or staying in for this? Either way, I have ideas.
1.) Big Easy for the Big Game
Are you planning a NOLA-themed watch party? Dusty Biscuit Beignets (411 South Main St, Ste 109, 817-841-9255) would like you to imagine a spread with andouille and chicken gumbo, beignets, boudin balls, and king cake. They also suggest you try the Dusty Queso, y’all. “We’d put ours up against anybody’s liquid gold,” they recently said. Order all of the above at DustyBiscuit.square.site.
2.) Drum Roll, Please
An “electrifying drumline” is only part of the fun you can expect at Big Game Bash 2025 at Texas Live! (1650 E Randol Mill Rd, Arlington, 817-852-6688). Doors open at 11am for an all-ages watch party. The game will be televised on a 100-foot screen in the main area and all the other big TVs in the venue’s 11 adjoining bars. There’ll also be contests every quarter and performances by the Lone Stars (the official dance/cheer team for Texas Live!) and their drumline, plus food and drink specials all day. Tickets are $10 per person at Texas-Live.com. For $30 more, you can add on a buffet meal.
3.) Family Fiesta
El Chico Cafe (1549 S Bowen Rd, Pantego, 817-265-8335) is taking orders for family-style
meals for this Sunday. These ready-to-eat Tex-Mex specials feature fajitas, tacos, or enchiladas, to-go only. The fajita option includes your choice of chicken, steak, or combination fajitas on a bed of sautéed vegetables, served with guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, and flour tortillas ($69.95). There is also a package of 12 tacos with your choice of crispy corn or flour tortillas filled with spicy beef or chicken, lettuce, cheddar cheese, and tomatoes, served with refried beans and rice ($47.99). The enchilada package comes with your choice of beef with chili con carne, cheese and onion with chili con carne, spinach with sour cream sauce, or chicken with sour cream sauce ($47.99). To order, call the restaurant or visit ElChico.com/ Features and choose “order online” under the featured drop-down.
4.) Fly, Fans, Fly
Birdie’s Social Club (2736 W 6th St, Fort Worth, 817-888-8914) welcomes you and your (leashed) dog to watch the game with them. When the game kicks off at 5:30pm, so do the drink specials, including $5 Bloody Marys, $5 micheladas, and $15 pitchers of domestic beer. The bar’s newly revamped food menu now includes a Fajita Tailgate Pack that feeds 4-6 people. It includes your choice of steak, chicken, or combo fajitas, plus rice, beans, corn cake, flour tortillas, pico de gallo, cheese, and sour cream. See more at BirdiesSocialClub.com/Food.
5.) Black and White Affair
Need a simple party idea? How about some football-themed Oreo cookies? In the Last Call section of Oreos.com, you can order two packs for $7 with “five football designs in play” (clever) and have them shipped or grab some at your local Kroger, Target, or Walmart. Speaking of parties, Party City is in the process of going out of business and has football party supplies up to 40% off at all area locations.
6.) Superfans and Tailgaters, Unite
Thirsty Lion Gastropub, with five area locations, including Euless (1220 Chisholm Trl, Ste 100, 817-283-9000) and Irving (350 Las Colinas Blvd West, 214-496-0400), is offering Superfan and Tailgater packages Sunday for quantities of two or more for delivery or to-go only. The Superfan includes pulled pork sliders, chicken tenders, mac ’n’ cheese, artichoke
spinach dip, chips and salsa, and oven-baked soft pretzels, while the Tailgater has burger sliders, spicy fried chicken sliders, chips and queso, and wings with Buffalo and Korean barbecue sauces, and celery and carrot sticks. Both are priced at $19.95 per person. Order now at ThirstyLionGastropub.com.
7.)
Raise the Roof
The Fort Worth chapter of the Rooftop Cinema Club, which screens movies on the roof of the Worthington Renaissance Hotel (235 Throckmorton St, Fort Worth, 817-870-1000), is hosting its Big Game on the Big Screen watch party. Starting at 5pm, enjoy all the action on a 24-foot LED screen against the backdrop of the Fort Worth skyline. Seating is first come, first served.

8.) Up the (Grid) Irons
Game day at the Haltom Theater (5601 E Belknap St, Haltom City, 682-250-5678) will include metal music by the band Eva Kora with Asphalt, Cortez, Dreamkeeper, and Midnight Murder Show in the theater room while the game is being shown on the projection screen in the side/diner room. While “The Haltom sells hot dogs” has been an ongoing joke and fodder for many memes, owner Chaz Buchanan says, they do actually serve them along with cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, and grilled cheese. “I think we have the best burgers around,” he adds. Doors open at 4pm, and the music starts at 6pm. All ages are welcome.

King of University
Rex’s Bar & Grill strikes a good balance between mojo-dojo sports bar and upscale fast-casual joint.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY
LAURIE JAMES
Rex Benson’s family has a long history of restaurant ownership, but a number of things had to fall into place for his vision of an eponymous restaurant of his own to be realized.
Benson took over his family’s Ol’ South Pancake House around 2008. At that time,
the Macaroni Grill shared a parking lot with the Fort Worth breakfast stalwart, which was fine –– the cuisines of Macaroni Grill (upscale fast-casual Italian-esque) and Ol’ South (hard to describe the category exactly) couldn’t have been more different. Flash forward five years to the post-COVID closure of Macaroni Grill, and Benson’s dream of an upscale sports bar walking distance from the family restaurant just became reality.
When we visited, server Ranita greeted all her tables with the enthusiasm definitely tailored toward the vibe she got. Want to sit and chat? She will. Want suggestions? On point. Want to order and be left alone? She can do that, too.
When pondering the excellent-looking appetizer choices, we were steered by her toward the wings. My joy at finding
cherrywood-smoked chicken wings was tempered only by the fact that, while there are five sauce options, diners can choose only one. The spicy Korean barbecue was moderately spicy and a little sweet with a pungent hint of funk. Eight wings are ample to share as an appetizer, although if you take them home, you’ll get a much better hit of

the smoke flavor the next day.
The Frog Smash on the signature cocktails menu sounded delicious. Vodka plus elderflower liqueur with blueberry puree and fresh lemon juice ought to have been a winner. The blueberry-lemon combo was made super-sweet by what my tastebuds thought was too much elderflower, which was more of a preference issue than an actual fault in the menu item.
The Caesar salad was a generous bowl of crisp romaine lettuce with impressive shavings of a good parm, all coated by an average dressing. Since we’d started with chicken, adding an additional protein to the salad didn’t feel necessary. The second main –– a New York strip –– was the perfect meat/ potatoes combo. The restaurant’s “signature rub” was heavy on the salt, cracked black pepper, and maybe garlic. The steak came out perfectly cooked, served medium as requested, and was so soft and juicy that the cowboy butter on top was almost not needed. However, the mashed Yukon gold potatoes demanded a little extra treatment, so it all worked out. Grilled asparagus finished the plate.
On a whim, we ordered two more sides: gouda mac ’n’ cheese and mushroom hash. The delicately smoky flavor of the cheese sauce was delightful, and the thick, coiled cavatappi pasta proved the perfect foil to

Blistered tomatoes provided a spectacular, sophisticated pop to the dish. It’s not disclaimed on the menu that the side is made with lardons –– order accordingly. Banana pudding seemed imperative to cap the meal, and this grownup version was delicious, if not strictly traditional. It’s vanilla pudding with a kiss of caramel that
Rex’s outdoor patio only looks over University Drive (unfortunately not facing the Trinity, but then not much that far away faces the river). The whole place balances comfort with some effortless, simple elegance. Sure, there’s sports memorabilia (Ol’ South is legendary for hosting posthigh school prom meals and TCU alumni gatherings) and a neon-tinged bar area. But the cool blues and tans of the seating space make Rex’s unrecognizable from its days as a chain restaurant, and it’s a place that seems to appeal equally to single dudes, couples, and, on the evening we dined, a family of eight in their rodeo best.
Over the last five or so years, it seems that a larger than average number of restaurants have come and died in Fort Worth. The reasons why have been the topic of endless debate in our foodie groups online and in person. I’ve maintained that while most of us with the budget to dine out love to challenge our palates episodically, what we want is simpler.

Rex’s mushroom hash was an inventive twist as a side dish.

MUSIC
Amor del Sur
With their new project (and two young’uns), this young couple keeps hustling onstage and off.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY JUAN R. GOVEA
Celestial L’amour and husband Luis Lopez have been making and performing music since the pandemic and are now only getting busier.
Onstage and at home.
Full-time workers and parents, the young couple is running two projects concurrently: L’amour’s eponymous alt-rock band that’s releasing a new EP this month and Amor del Sur, an R&B-esque outfit with Lopez on guitar, Jack Emery on sax, Tanner Moseley on drums, Sean Powers on lead guitar, and David Sentendrey on bass. Amor del Sur also has an EP coming out soon.
“Being a mom of two children, we have managed with a great support system for me” and Lopez, L’amour said, shouting out her father and mother-in-law, who help L’amour and husband Lopez follow their “dreams of creating music that brings hope for the world.”
Amor del Sur has released two music videos so far, and both really reveal a sound
L’amour: “We wrote what we felt inside and what we ourselves wanted to hear, and it has really paid off.”
that’s much softer than the frontwoman’s crunchy namesake group.
Amor del Sur’s debut singles, “Fiction” and “So Alive,” do not in any way represent a rebranding of Celestial L’amour, the frontperson said.
“The [del Sur] songs are something different and new that spark interest,” L’amour added. “If audiences enjoy Amor del Sur over Celestial L’amour, there’s no loss.”
For the EP, Amor del Sur worked with
Blue 13 Productions’ Greg Muzljakovich (Kyoto Lo-Fi, MD Wulf, Big Fan of the Bison) and sound engineer and good friend J.M. Burton (Mountain Kid, Keanu Leaves), whose creative touch was “tremendous,” L’amour said, adding that she and the band are “happy” with the results so far.
“It’s a big difference going from high-energy rock to a more slow-paced feel,” she said. “We are embracing both to what they are and are comfortable doing whatever needs to be done.”
Celestial L’amour, she added, “has been great for the venues we have played at, but at times it can be limiting when we want to play in different environments. We created Amor del Sur to achieve just that,” with the aim of performing at such marquee spots as Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall and Texas Live!, plus private events.
L’amour said her new project’s first show will be local and soon.
“Celestial L’amour is our main project,” she said, “and we have a bit of shows lined up that we are making a priority for. Locally, I noticed a trend of there being a lot of the same messages behind the songs that didn’t hold a lot of value to the listener. We wrote what we felt inside and what we ourselves wanted to hear, and it has really paid off. If we can just bring hope to one person to not give up and realize that their life has value, then we have accomplished everything we have set out to.” l
L’amour: “Being a mom of two children, we have managed with a great support system.”

SCREEN
A Movie in Secret
This Iranian epic family drama and action-thriller is one of 2024’s best.
BY KRISTIAN LIN
Mohammad Rasoulof is now an exile because he made Seed of the Sacred Fig. The Iranian director was the talk of the Cannes Film Festival last summer. Because his film (like many of his others) criticized his country’s government, he shot it entirely in secret. After the French festival selected his work for the competition, the Iranian justice system sentenced him to eight years in prison plus a flogging and the seizure of his property. Having already done prison time for his filmmaking, Rasoulof instead spent almost a month fleeing the country over land and finding refuge in Germany, where he lived previously.
This compelling backstory is no doubt part of why Seed of the Sacred Fig is now nominated for an Oscar as Germany’s entry for Best International Film, though it would still be fantastic drama even without that. I named it the second-best film of 2024, and as it opens this weekend at AMC Grapevine Mills and AMC Parks at Arlington, you can see why I think it’s so much better than Emilia Pérez
The story begins with a devout lawyer named Iman (Missagh Zareh) being promoted from lawyer to investigating judge in Tehran’s Revolutionary Tribunal. It’s a big thing for him, affording him more pay, a bigger apartment for his family, and a chance
for further advancement. It also comes with the expectation that he’ll rubber-stamp hundreds of death sentences passed by his superiors each day, along with advice not to tell even his family about his new job, which he disregards. Then his handgun vanishes from an unlocked drawer in his bedside table, less than two weeks after it’s given to him for protection. Could one of his college-age daughters, Rezvan and Sana (Mahsa Rostami and Setareh Maleki), have taken it, even though he hasn’t told them about the weapon? Or is his wife Najmeh (Soheila Golestani) the culprit? His boss (Reza Akhlaghirad) promises dire consequences for losing the gun. They’re in his car at that moment, because the boss’ office is bugged.
This movie is 168 minutes long, but Westerners may find it more digestible than some shorter Iranian films. That’s because Rasoulof makes thrillers. They’re not as slam-bang as Western action movies, but his There Is No Evil and Manuscripts Don’t Burn have plots and action set pieces that would suit a Hollywood film just fine. This movie contains a sequence on a country road where Iman becomes convinced that he’s being followed, then gets behind the pursuing car
and tries to run it off the road. (I repeat, they shot this entire movie in secret, though it’s made so professionally that you wouldn’t suspect it.)
Elsewhere, Rasoulof emphasizes the suspense element, which is everywhere in a society where nobody has any expectations of privacy. Iman is outed as a judge when social-media users dox him, and when he drives home after that, he eyeballs a motorcyclist who pulls up very close alongside him and a man loitering outside his apartment building who’s talking on his cellphone. The scenes around the dinner table are shot through with the tension, as the parents are true believers in the Islamic revolution while the daughters chafe against the system. On top of that, the movie is set in late 2022, when the Mahsa Amini protests are taking place. (The film contains a lot of real-life footage of those protests.) An answer comes when Rezvan brings home a fellow student (Niousha Akhshi) who has been shot in the face.
The movie’s climax is a political and psychological masterstroke, as Iman drives his family to the rural village
where he grew up. He says it’s to bond as a family, but really it’s for locking up his wife and daughters and interrogating them separately in front of cameras until somebody confesses to taking the gun. His methods are quite similar to the ones used by Iranian police and military against the protesters, but you don’t have to know that to be chilled. As we saw this past election cycle, it’s not just Muslim fathers who try to clamp down on the women in their families when they feel their own lives spiraling out of control.
As first one and then all three women get free and lead Iman on a deadly chase through a complex of deserted stone houses, the parallels with traditional gender roles in Iran and America are extraordinary. (And this is funny: The person who has taken the gun learns to shoot it by watching a YouTube video from America. If that’s me, I’m probably doing the same thing.) Seed of the Sacred Fig rightly hails the courage of the Amini protesters against Iran’s theocracy, but its own existence is itself an act of great courage. We could use more of that in our politics and culture. l
After the Cannes Film Festival selected Mohammad Rasoulof’s Seed of the Sacred Fig for the competition, the Iranian justice system sentenced him to eight years in prison plus a flogging and the seizure of his property.
Seed of the Sacred Fig Starring Missagh Zareh, Soheila Golestani, Mahsa Rostami, and Setareh Maleki. Written and directed by Mohammad Rasoulof. Rated PG-13.
