Biography
Mohsen Amiryoussefi won Cannes's top prize for emerging filmmakers before turning 35.

His breakthrough came with *Bitter Dream* (2004), a black comedy centered on a funeral director that earned the Camera d'Or at Cannes Film Festival that year and widespread critical praise. The film marked his arrival as a major voice in the third generation of Iranian New Wave cinema. Before *Bitter Dream*, Amiryoussefi had already completed his first short film in 1997, adapted from a story by Franz Kafka, and written multiple screenplays for both screen and stage. As a screenwriter and director, his practice spans theatrical and cinematic forms, blending literary sources with genre work. Born under Pisces, Amiryoussefi's artistic sensibility—drawn to existential and darkly comedic material—reflects the sign's intuitive, introspective nature. His career trajectory embodies Life Path 9 themes of artistic mastery and humanistic vision: moving from mathematical study to the symbolic language of cinema, he crafted narratives about mortality, grief, and the absurd.
