Tabous - Zohre & Manouchehr

Dec 8 2004 N/A 1h 10m
Documentary, Drama

Filmmaker Mitra Farahani portrays love and sex in today’s Iran. One part fiction and one part documentary, the film was shot secretly and is banned in its native country.

Plot

This documentary is far from truth. Iranian society is very diverse, of course you can find a minority who think and behave like that, but just a minority! people interviewed in this documentary are restricted to: religious fanatics,clergies,blue-collars,prostitutes, and trans-genders!! If Ms. Farahani had interviewed some college students, scholars, and more intellectual type of people, the whole conveyed image would certainly be different.Such directors, writers, etc., in the cover of feminism or women's rights, try to demonstrate a fanatic and exaggerated version of developing societies to the outside world, just to catch their "wow!" and become famous.
