Maryam Moghaddam, Behtash Sanaeeha, Iran, 97 mins, Drama
Elderly, isolated widow Mahin invites Faramarz, a lonely taxi driver, to her Tehran house for dinner and dancing. The directors were banned from attending the secretly shot film’s premiere in Berlin; alcohol and the absence of hijabs ‘crossed red lines’ for the authorities. A warm, intensely poignant story.
See if the film is right for you at the BBFC (may contain spoilers)
