Story:
The latest film by the great Iranian film maker Abbas Kiarostami is a fascinating, intimate view of the emotions of 112 Iranian women along with the French Juliette Binoche, who are in a theatre and (seemingly) following a Persian love story. The faces of the Iranian actresses watching the story of Shirin (such as Hedieh Tehrani, Niki Karimi, or Leila Hatami) are carefully framed in static images. This is an unprecedented experiment, in that the director does not let his audience see what the women actually see - the audience watches the women and never gets a glimpse of what they are looking at... A challenging work by the Iranian master that one has to follow like a classical piece of music - with one's emotions. (Rotterdam Film Festival)
