Coup 53 Reviews
Very comprehensive coverage of the 1953 coupe in Iran. It could answer my question and curiosity about what exactly happened back then. Nice work!
A brilliant movie about a very sensitive subject. As a long time researcher about the 1953 coup, I didn't expect to be surprised at all, but this movie brought up so much testimony and archival evidence that it belongs in a whole different category of documentary. I was reminded of The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003). The depth of description of the crucial months and years leading up, during and after the coup is really remarkable. I learned tons. I really can't say enough about this movie. If you have the chance, watch it!
What a timely reminder of the perils of meddling, especially with a cynical, mercenary and racist intent. The pace and tension of this film build beautifully, no small feat when you consider the reams and reams of paper-based detective work that lie at its heart.
An absolutely essential watch, superbly done. Highly recommend this movie to those who want to understand a great part of the true underlying reasons for the belligerent dynamics of the world today.
An exceptional documentary made based on official sensitive documents that Mr. Amirani had permission to access. You will see how he accessed every information he used to make this thrilling documentary. An art work that illuminates on dark sections of history which are crucial for global peace.
A must-see for everyone who wants to know what is truly going on in the world. You might think this documentary talks about the history of the Iranian coup in 1953, while actually it is portraying brilliantly the recipes still being used by intelligence services to this day. Best documentary I've ever watched.
