OK Mister (1978) is Parviz Kimiavi’s final pre-revolutionary film. This article shows how Kimiavi undertakes a trenchant critique of the cultural and social milieu prevailing in Iran during the Shah’s era. Kimiavi’s symbolic and allegorical approach resonates with the post-colonial sensibilities influenced by the nativist and anti-Western ideologies prevalent among Iranian filmmakers and intellectuals during the 1960s.
