MOVIE


Movie : Circumstance

Director: Maryam Keshavarz

Writers: Maryam Keshavarz

Stars: Sarah Kazemy, Nikohl Boosheri and Reza Sixo Safai


Language : Farsi 


Saw an Iranian movie "Circumstance" the controversial movie directed by Maryam Keshavarz.. shows the true colours of Iran's Moral authority. I feel you can not tagg this movie as lesbian movie.. It shows ( metaphorically ) the limited role of women in the strict environment and the slice of life hidden from the mainstream society..The Interesting part is the hero character replaces the drug addiction with religion addiction.. both are same.. 
made me think about the Director Jafer Panahi.. who was sentenced to prison for six years in 2010 and banned to make movies for 20 years.. 

sorry to say the editing of the movie ruin the overall beauty of the movie..


Storyline:
Mehran and Atafeh, two brothers and sisters, have grown up privileged, in a home filled with music, art, and intellectual curiosity. While Atafeh dreams of fame and adventure, and she and her best friend, Shireen, explore Tehran's underground scene with youthful exuberance and determination to be themselves, her brother returns home from drug rehab, renounces his former decadent life, and replaces his once obsessive practice of classical music with more destructive pursuits.
