Divine Comedy (Persian: کمدی الهی, romanized: Komedi-e elāhi) is a 2025 comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Ali Asgari. It stars Bahman Ark, Sadaf Asgari, Hossein Soleimani and Mohammad Soori. It follows Bahran, a 40-year-old filmmaker who never had his films officially screened in Iran, due to the country's harsh censorship.
A co-production between Iran, Italy, France, Germany and Turkey, the film had its world premiere at the Orizzonti section of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival.
