[Coup 53 @Coup53]

100% Fresh on @RottenTomatoes

The film’s editor is Walter Murch, who worked on “The Conversation” and “The Godfather: Part II” (both 1974) so there’s not much that he doesn’t know about conspiracy – how it leaks into a movie like the smell of drains.
Anthony Lane – The New Yorker @NewYorker

Has the air of something that grew from an impudent home movie into a magnum opus
Todd McCarthy - Hollywood Reporter @THR

Both as a detective story and as a deep dive into a world event whose consequences linger, it is bracing, absorbing filmmaking
Ben Kenigsberg - New York Times @nytimes

It has a bit of “All the President’s Men” about it
Ian Freer - EMPIRE @empiremagazine

Simply great storytelling, full stop.
Anne Hornaday - Washington Post @washingtonpost

A maddening, gripping portrait of how imperialism works Coup 53 is almost as concerned with the film-making process - the lists, the dead ends, the searching - as much as it is with political history
Tara Brady – The Irish Times @IrishTimes

It is without question one of the greatest of all documentaries. Apart from its importance as a revelatory history lesson, it’s a masterpiece of humanity, thoroughness and consummate film craft.
Mike Leigh - Winner of the Palme d'Or

This powerful and authoritative documentary by the Iranian filmmaker Taghi Amirani is as gripping as any thriller
Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian @guardian

One of the best documentaries of recent years.
Michael Moore @MMFlint

Ralph Fiennes appears, lending a wry le Carré air to proceedings as an enigmatic MI6 agent with an explosive testimony.
Larushka Ivan-Zadeh - The Times @thetimes

Amazing. Beautifully done. Clever use of archive. Unique.
Oliver Stone @TheOliverStone

A labour of love, the film is premium detective work. With admirable tenacity and care,  Amirani has dragged official secrets back into the light
Tim Robey – The Daily Telegraph @Telegraph

This is big. This is going to be big.
Werner Herzog

It’s like taking a swim in John le Carré’s brain
Dave Calhoun - Time Out @TimeOutFilm

Extraordinary.
Errol Morris

As compelling as a John le Carré novel or a Costa-Gavras classic
Allen Hunter - Screen Daily @Screendaily

@IRIMFA_SPOX The Operation Ajax, coup against the people, stealing Iran's national oil...
That’s how the enmity began, and each time it has continued with greater cruelty.

"Nothing but war"

COUP 53 tells the story of 1953 like no other film https://t.co/Dq25wWjYTO

[Esmaeil Baqaei @IRIMFA_SPOX]

Today, 19 May (29 Ordibehesht), marks the birthday of Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh, the famed Iranian Prime Minister whose government was violently overthrown in a coup engineered and backed by the United States and UK, solely for his unwavering defense of Iran’s national interests, his fierce resistance to foreign domination, and his refusal to allow the plunder of Iran’s national resources.

American officials repeatedly speak of “47 years” of confrontation with Iran. This is a deliberate distortion of history; the U.S. hostility toward the Iranian nation did not begin in 1979 — it began in 1953. For more than 73 years, the Iranian people have endured a long record of American intervention, sanctions, threats, and military aggression.

Revisiting Dr. Mosaddegh’s legacy and the 1953 Anglo-American coup delivers a clear and timeless lesson: the only true path to national dignity, sovereignty, and sustainable progress is resolute insistence on sovereign rights and political independence.

دوستان چرا با پهلوی چی ها راجع به اینکه 28 مرداد کودتا بوده یا نه ص��بت و بحث می کنین؟ سازمان سیا 140 صفحه مطلب طبقه بندی شده منتشر کرده تو تمامی روزنامه های جهان بحث شده الان جزئی از دانش عمومی جهانی محسوب میشه
با روان پریش که بحث تاریخی نمی کنن
وقت خودتون رو تلف نکنین، اینا دنبال اختراع دوباره ی چرخن
یکی از تاکتیک های ابزار پروپاگاندا گرفتن انرژی شماست با مسائلی که حتی ارزش بحث کردن ندارند
همیشه وقتتون رو با شر و ور ترین مسائل میگیرن تا نرید دنبال مسائل اصلی
