About The Glass Eye
A propaganda Basij member named "Qasem" (Alireza Eshaghi) is sent to the front. Although his job is to promote and take pictures of scenes of fighters clashing with Iraqi soldiers, he goes to the front lines to help. His camera films the entire incident.
Directed by Hossein Ghasemi Jami, The Glass Eye leans on a strong ensemble — Seyed Javad Hashemi, Asghar Naghizade, Alireza Najafzadeh — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1991.
