Though naive sometimes, Persian Cats is a "must-see" film, like the fatih akin's movies about turkey. It shows the iranian underground music scene, among various quality genres like indie rock, heavy metal and persian rap. The iranian system persecutes almost every kind of music and these young musician lives like cats playing in cellars, afraid about police irruptions. Funny and moving at the same time.
