The Dish (2007)
Satellite TV is illegal in Iran but it is also the nation's secret obsession. An indulgence which has seeped into every pore of Iranian life. Satellite dishes are everywhere; But ever careful to protect the populace from immoral outside influence, the Morality Police force entry into homes wielding wire cutters and sledgehammers; spoiling the fun.

How sad is this?
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
