Sorush Sehhat

Sorush Sehhat, born November 29, 1965, is kind of a big deal in the Iranian film and TV scene—like, if you’ve paid any attention at all, you’ve probably stumbled across his work. He’s not just your average director; the guy’s got some serious chops when it comes to storytelling, especially with his knack for blending humor and raw, real life. People still talk about “Breakfast with Giraffes” from 2024—bit of a quirky title, right?—but man, that film did something different. It’s not just a breakfast or some giraffe spectacle. It’s layered, a bit oddball, but pulls you into these lives you never realized you’d care about. Then there’s “Jahan, Ba Man Beraghs” from 2019. This one? Total vibe shift. Sehhat digs into the messiness of relationships, those tangled web-of-lies-and-truths type of stories that leave you thinking, “Wow, okay, maybe my life isn’t that complicated after all.” He doesn’t just scratch the surface—he goes deep, but with a light touch that keeps things from getting too heavy. And you can’t forget “Lisanseha” (2016), which basically became a cultural reference point for a lot of people. It’s like, laugh-out-loud funny but also weirdly poignant. Sehhat’s style? It’s relatable, a bit cheeky, and never just going through the motions—he’s got this way of getting under your skin, in the best way. The dude’s work is definitely worth checking out.
