In Argo, what is the culture official asking about?
Argo has a scene where the fake film crew joins an official from the Iranian government's department of culture and art (or something like that). When the official is introduced to the director, the official asks him something about the movie, and the director answers with "no" but looks confused.
What was the culture official asking about? It sounded like he was asking if the movie was going to be a love story, but I couldn't understand much of what he was saying.
Best Answer
The culture official asks whether the film is about a foreign bride who comes to Iran, but she doesn't understand the language or the custom so there is a misunderstanding and lapse.
To this, Bob, the "director", replies that it's not.

Answer 2
he was referring to the movie Not without my daughter and asking if this Argo movie is that one.
That movie was released in 1991 and represented exaggerated bad aspects of Iran and was opposed by Iranian government and people.
Edit:
Although that movie hadn't existed at the time Argo happened, seems like the filmmakers wanted to mention that movie to the audience. Comments of this answer make it clearer.
Answer 3
Everyone is looking way too deeply into this. There was no reference to any specific movie. IT was simply the Iranian asking if this was going to be a wacky comedy that uses the differences in their cultures for the laughs...because Western movies and TV often treated the culture of Iranians as a bit backwards, to the point where moviegoers are expected to laugh AT Iran. Not at the situation.
