A very interesting documentary, 28 April 2003

Our Times ,First-Viewing, cinema at San Francisco Film Festival, PFA Theatre in Berkeley,(Rakhshan Bani-Etemad)- DOCUMENTARY
An almost perfect portrayal of Iranian society around the time of the recent election (re-election of President Khatami in Iran). Covers many subjects, but basically is making very valid points about the disadvantages women have in Iranian Society. The documentary is very interesting unravels beautifully as the film goes on. Bani-Etemad has done great films in the past, but this documentary ranks as one of her best works, as she concentrates on the life of one woman (although she touches a lot of other aspects of Iranian society). The struggles the woman goes through is just amazingly saddening and inhumane (ahem Islamic Republic of Iran). The directors skill is great, and no wonder why she is known as Iran's best living female director and has won various awards or been nominated at festivals in Torino, Montreal, Moscow, etc.. 9/10
