Synopsis
There Is No Evil (2020) is an Iranian drama you can watch online, directed by Mohammad Rasoulof. Four separate stories circle one subject: the death penalty, and the ordinary men ordered to carry it out.
A devoted family man whose quiet routine the film upends in a single shot. A conscript who must pull the lever at dawn and cannot. A young man arriving to propose who learns something that breaks him open. A doctor who has lived as a recluse for years, finally saying why. Rasoulof shot every frame in secret — under a filmmaking ban and house arrest, with no permission from the state.
So the question lands hard rather than abstract: can you stay human inside a system that turns you into an executioner? The film claimed the Golden Bear at Berlin in 2020, a prize its director was barred from collecting in person. Slow, hushed and quietly devastating, made for viewers ready to sit with something heavy. Stream There Is No Evil (2020) online on iFILM.
