The Old Bachelor," directed by Oktay Barahani, was for me more than just a typical drama. With Hassan Pourshirazi's outstanding performance as Gholam Bastani, the film skillfully portrays the archetype of the "Puer Aeternus" or "Eternal Youth." This character, despite his age, remains emotionally stunted, refusing to embrace the responsibilities of adulthood.
This interpretation is reinforced by Gholam's own pivotal dialogue: "A man whose life has no rules or order, even if he grows old, will remain an old boy and never truly grow up!" Furthermore, one can observe echoes of "Dionysus," the god of ecstasy and liberation, within Gholam Bastani, which perfectly complements the "Eternal Youth" aspect of his character. This is a profound and thought-provoking film that delves into the psychological layers of humanity.
