The book entitled “A Cube of Sugar” has been published by Sureh-Mehr, an institute which is affiliated with the Art Bureau.
It contains the script of the film along with interviews with director Reza Mirkarim.
A chapter of the book has also been dedicated to the viewpoints of a number of cineastes including Majid Majidi and Behruz Afkhami on the film.
“A Cube of Sugar” tells the story of a happy family party, which turns bitter over some sad news and events.
The film was selected as Iran’s submission to the 85th Annual Academy Awards this year, but it missed the race after Iran decided to boycott the Oscars in protest of the Academy Awards’ silence on the production of an anti-Islam video in the United States.
Posted on the Internet in September 2012, the amateurish video “Innocence of Muslims” insults Prophet Muhammad (S).
Iran expected the Oscars’ organizers to denounce the film, which was produced by an American citizen.
