The Circle (2000)
8/10
Not perfect but still good and important

Warning: Spoilers
"May contain a spoiler" As western I don't have much idea what is going in today Iran, so this film shed some light of the harsh reality the women in Iran are encountering. And the sad story, as it always in case of revolutions, that some people don't enjoy much from the fruits of the revolution and especially women in Iran. I found the structure of the film to be an advantage to the film.The story doesn't focus on one woman but on several and through their stories try to show that this is not a unique case but a systematic oppression of women in Iran.

The English title refers to the fact,that at the end,women in Iran find themselves always with no way out and the remain always in the same position, with no hope.

Even if it's not a perfect film, it's important to see it if only to be aware of women's situation in Iran.
