Movies Watched -- The Circle (2000)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In Persian. 87 minute running time so the perfect length. Very interestingly constructed movie with the story shifting seamlessly from one character to the next over the course of a day … clever … the conclusion is I’m darned glad that I’m not a woman in Iran … this is feminism at its best … Jafar Panahi worked with Abbas Kiarostami (my favorite Iranian filmmaker) and clearly learned a lot … this is a green-go, but it ain’t a feel-good picture. John Farr also recommends it.
