About The Sweet Smell of Life
Kamal and Jamal are a pair of twin brothers who look quite similar but possess two different types of morale and mentality. One night, Jamal who is a hospital assistant, finds an old man's senseless body on a street. He takes the old man to the hospital and saves him from death. The old man's brother, along with his lawyer who is a shyster man, are looking to seize the old man's wealth such as his old house. The obstinate old man decides to sell his house at a low price to Jamal in order to appreciate his help. The old man's brother, his lawyer, Kamal and his wife are trying to prevent this happening or at least to get a share of the house. They even defraud each other to achieve their goal.
Directed by Abolhassan Davoodi, The Sweet Smell of Life leans on a strong ensemble — Alireza Khamseh, Gholam-Hossein Lotfi, Amir Pievar — 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 screen titles of 1994.
