- DirectorJafar PanahiStarsJafar PanahiNasrin SotoudehBanned from making movies by the Iranian government, Jafar Panahi poses as a taxi driver and makes a movie about social challenges in Iran.Really great movie, or documentary how you wanted to see, for Jafar Panahi it is forbidden to direct in his homecountry and now he is working as a taxist, in this movie with his home camera he is filming people in his taxi, and we can see their daily lifes, struggles and difficulties in Iranian society, and you can feel the noisy atmosphere of Tehran streets, really recommending this one.
- DirectorJafar PanahiStarsSima Mobarak-ShahiShayesteh IraniAyda SadeqiThe struggle of women in a country that excludes them from entering stadiums.Another great movie from Panahi, about girs who wanted to see football game of their national team but it is forbbiden for women to watch sports in Iran, but they try to camouflage themselves and to look like man, but they are all caught by soldiers, and then the movie became interesting and we can see all the absurds of laws.
- DirectorAbbas KiarostamiStarsHomayoun ErshadiAbdolhosein BagheriAfshin Khorshid BakhtiariAn Iranian man drives his car in search of someone who will quietly bury him under a cherry tree after he commits suicide.My favorite for now from Iran, from legendary director Abbas Kioristami, may he rest in peace, if you are into philosophical themes and great atmosphere this is movie for you
- DirectorJafar PanahiStarsAida MohammadkhaniMohsen KafiliFereshteh Sadre OrafaiySeveral people try to help a little girl to find the money her mom gave her to buy a goldfish with.Really nice story about small girl and the beginning of Iranian new year Nevrouz, really kind hearted movie.
- DirectorMohsen MakhmalbafStarsTahmineh NormatovaNadereh AbdelahyevaGoibibi ZiadolahyevaEvery day, 10-year-old Khorsid takes the bus to his work at an instrument maker's shop, and every day something unexpected happens.Just wonderful, and it is happening in Tajikistan, really exotic country, and people who are speaking also Farsi (Iranian), but it is very difficult movie and you will find yourself in tears.
- DirectorAbbas KiarostamiStarsBehzad DoraniNoghre AsadiRoushan Karam ElmiIrreverent city engineer Behzad comes to a rural village in Iran to keep vigil for a dying relative. In the meanwhile the film follows his efforts to fit in with the local community and how he changes his own attitudes as a result.I must admit that i didn't like this movie, but something is telling me to watch it again and give it a chance.
- DirectorJafar PanahiStarsHossain EmadeddinKamyar SheisiAzita RayejiAn Iranian pizza delivery man sees the worst of corruption and social unbalance in his city and is driven to crime.The best movie from Jafar Panahi, i enjoyed every minute of it, and it is very dark and pessimistic, and i like movies like that.
- DirectorJafar PanahiStarsMina Mohammad KhaniKazem MojdehiNaser OmuniWhen a young girl becomes lost in the hustle and bustle of Tehran, her journey turns into a dazzling exercise on the nature of film itself.I found this movie really strange it is fantastic for first 40 minutes but after small girl don't want to act anymore and we see film director and other people working on film, i find it boring. The weakest for sure from Panahi, but again as i said some good moments.
