Every Angel is Terrifying—Rilke
(Short synopsis)
Every Angel is Terrifying—Rilke is a lyrical and poetic cinematic expression that narrates a day in the life of Hossein, a German literature professor and an expert on Rilke’s poetry, as well as a mathematician, in Tehran. The highlight of our protagonist’s day is recording a few translated poems by Rilke in a prestigious sound studio. But the mood of the day changes drastically when he receives a series of phone calls that bear life-changing news.
