Shirin
Drama
A hundred and fourteen famous Iranian theater and cinema actresses and a French star: mute spectators at a theatrical representation of Khosrow and Shirin, a Persian poem from the twelfth century, put on stage by Kiarostami. The development of the text -- long a favorite in Persia and the Middle East -- remains invisible to the viewer of the film, the whole story is told by the faces of the women watching the show.
VIBE
A hushed, almost sacred space where faces become landscapes. It's a quiet, profound meditation on shared experience and the power of unspoken reactions, inviting deep introspection.
