It’s a Iranian movie (Banned in Iran) directed by Jafar Panahi and it has won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 2000 and other international awards.
It is the boldest movie, which portrays the status of women in male dominated world of Iran and it is undoubtedly the universal story of women's plight for an equal share in an unequal society.
The movie starts in a maternity room and ends in jail and there is no main character or protagonist in this film, it is a sequence of incomplete short stories leaving the audience to imagine the ending.
Most of the scenes are unpredictable, Example a nurse announces the birth of a child and visitor waiting outside mourns the delivery of something other than a boy. Logically, the viewer prepares for the tale of the mother who has just delivered the wrong baby and the fate of her unfortunate child. But instead, story goes somewhere….like this it has many sequences…Most of the film is conveyed in images with a very few lines of easy dialogue.
The film is unable to decide whether it is a straightforward drama or a highly accentuated piece of world cinema, leaving the viewer more than a little narratively disoriented.
Verdict: Different treatment and can be watched once.
★★★☆☆
